This is a conventional serif with bracketed wedges and subtly calligraphic modulation. Strokes show moderate contrast, with tapered terminals and slightly flared serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. The lowercase has a compact, sturdy rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a relatively small, round dot on “i/j,” and a generous, ear-like terminal on “g.” Uppercase forms are classical and steady, with a wide, open “C,” a traditional “G” with a clear spur, and diagonals (V/W/Y) that end in sharp, chiseled serifs. Numerals are sturdy and text-friendly, with clear shapes and traditional proportions.
It suits long-form reading in books, articles, and reports where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. The sturdy capitals also work well for headings, chapter titles, and formal collateral, especially in academic, legal, or institutional contexts.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking editorial credibility and established institutions. Its crisp wedge serifs and slightly lively curves add a hint of old-world craft while staying reserved and professional. The effect is confident and readable rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif with a classical silhouette and enough stroke modulation to keep pages lively. It prioritizes a calm reading rhythm and conventional letterforms that feel at home in editorial typography.
Curves are slightly elliptical and the joins show gentle shaping, which keeps the texture from feeling rigid. The serif treatment is consistent across cases, and the punctuation and numerals visually match the same chiseled, ink-on-paper character seen in the letters.
