This typeface is a conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, with crisp terminals and a slightly traditional, engraved texture. Lowercase forms read smoothly with open counters and rounded joins; the two-storey a and g reinforce a classic text rhythm. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and ascenders/descenders, helping the font blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired, especially when paired with oldstyle numerals in text settings.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial credibility. Its restrained details and balanced contrast feel formal without becoming ornate, giving it a dependable, established voice.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a time-tested typographic voice. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numbering suggest an aim toward book and editorial composition rather than display novelty.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. The color on the page is even and composed, with enough modulation to feel lively while maintaining a steady, text-forward texture at paragraph sizes.
