A text-oriented serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Stems are fairly sturdy while hairlines stay crisp, creating clear contrast without feeling brittle. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—noticeable diagonal stress, a two-storey “a,” a compact ear on “g,” and slightly flowing joins that soften the geometry. Proportions are comfortably wide with open counters and moderate spacing, giving lines an even, readable texture in paragraph settings.
Well suited to extended reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support formal reports and institutional communication, and it scales nicely to display sizes for headlines or pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative tone is needed.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a composed, authoritative voice. Its calligraphic undercurrent adds warmth and polish, making it feel established rather than trendy. The result is a refined, editorial presence suited to serious reading and considered messaging.
Likely designed as a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, balancing strong contrast with robust stems and open counters. The design appears to aim for a classic, literary color on the page while keeping letterforms distinct and dependable in real-world composition.
Round letters show gentle modulation and slightly sheared internal stress rather than purely vertical construction. Uppercase forms read stately and stable, with sharp, well-defined terminals and clear differentiation across characters and numerals, helping maintain clarity in mixed-case text.
