A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a robust, steady color. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without becoming delicate, and curves are smoothly drawn with generous, open counters. Terminals often end in subtle wedge-like shapes, giving letters a mildly calligraphic finish. Proportions feel roomy and horizontally comfortable, with a calm rhythm and consistent spacing that supports continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a dependable serif texture is needed. It can also support institutional or heritage-leaning branding, titles, and pull quotes where a classic, authoritative presence is desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a slightly old-style, literary flavor. It reads as serious and established rather than trendy, lending a composed, editorial voice. The wedge terminals add a hint of personality while remaining firmly within classic text-serif conventions.
Likely designed as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and an even typographic rhythm, while adding gentle wedge terminals and moderate contrast for character. The emphasis appears to be on reliable paragraph performance with a traditional, cultured voice.
Uppercase forms are solid and stately, while lowercase shapes maintain clarity through open bowls and moderate joins. Numerals appear similarly sturdy and well-balanced, matching the text color and serif treatment for cohesive mixed-text settings.
