A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and softly tapered terminals that echo broad-nib calligraphy. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals with generous internal space, while the lowercase keeps a steady, text-oriented rhythm and open counters. Curves are smooth and continuous, joins are clean, and details like the ear and beak-like terminals feel controlled rather than sharp. Numerals appear lining and well-balanced, matching the letterforms with consistent contrast and sturdy verticals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a steady, familiar serif texture is desired. It also works for formal communication—reports, essays, institutional materials—and for headings that need a classic, authoritative voice without excessive decoration.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a dependable, editorial seriousness. It feels formal without being ornate, with a calm, readable texture that suggests traditional publishing and academic materials.
The font appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, prioritizing balanced proportions, clear counters, and restrained detailing. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver an established, trustworthy typographic voice across a wide range of sizes.
The design maintains a consistent color across lines of text, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and restrained, conventional letterform construction. Serifs are neither hairline nor blocky, giving the face a balanced presence that remains legible at both display and text sizes.
