This is a conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a noticeably calligraphic modulation between thick and thin strokes. Capitals are broad and steady with prominent top and bottom serifs, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies such as a two-storey “g” and a gently angled, serifed “e.” Curves are full and rounded (notably in O/C/S), with crisp terminals and a slightly sculpted feel where joins thicken. Numerals appear proportional with clear contrast and sturdy stems, matching the text rhythm of the letters.
It works well for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where the serif structure and rhythmic contrast help sustain lines of text. In display sizes it also provides a traditional, authoritative character for headlines, mastheads, and brand marks that need a classic tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a confident, editorial voice. It conveys formality and trust—suited to institutions, print culture, and classic publishing aesthetics—while remaining approachable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that channels established book typography. Its sturdy serifs and controlled contrast suggest an emphasis on readability and conventional polish across both continuous text and larger typographic statements.
The letterforms show a strong vertical presence with moderate spacing and clear interior counters, supporting legibility in paragraph settings. Serifs are prominent enough to guide horizontal flow, and the stroke contrast adds a refined, slightly vintage texture at larger sizes.
