A sturdy serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic modulation. Strokes show moderate contrast with softened transitions into terminals, giving the shapes a confident, slightly traditional texture. Counters are open and proportions are well balanced, with compact, readable lowercase and a strong, even color in text. The roman capitals are stately and clear, while the lowercase shows lively details such as a two-storey g and distinctive ear and terminal shaping that keep the rhythm from feeling mechanical.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and other long-form reading where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also works effectively for magazine typography, academic or institutional materials, and brand systems that want a traditional, authoritative voice with enough personality for headings.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting reliability and seriousness without feeling overly delicate. It reads as traditional and editorial, suited to contexts where credibility and familiarity matter more than novelty.
Designed to deliver a conventional, dependable reading experience with subtly crafted details that add character without disrupting text color. The letterforms aim for clarity and durability across sizes, balancing crisp serifs with moderated contrast for steady paragraph performance.
The numerals appear text-friendly with clear differentiation and a conservative, print-oriented feel. Pointed, triangular finishing on several forms adds crispness at display sizes, while the generous curves and bracketing help maintain smooth flow in paragraphs.
