A conventional serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and clear calligraphic stress. Strokes show a lively contrast between thick verticals and thinner connecting hairlines, with modest modulation through curves and diagonals. Capitals are broad and steady with slightly flared terminals, while the lowercase maintains open counters and a straightforward rhythm, aided by a relatively generous set width and comfortable spacing. Numerals follow the same old-style influence, with smooth curves and sturdy stems that keep them legible alongside text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines and pull quotes when a classic, high-contrast look is appropriate, while keeping enough clarity for mixed alphanumeric content.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a composed, authoritative presence. Its contrast and serif detailing add a refined, slightly traditional flavor suited to established editorial and institutional voices.
Likely designed to provide a familiar, highly readable serif for conventional text typography, balancing classical proportions with crisp contrast for a polished printed feel.
The sample text shows a consistent texture in paragraph-like settings, with clear word shapes and distinct letterforms at larger sizes. The ampersand and figures echo the same restrained, old-style sensibility, reinforcing a cohesive typographic color across mixed content.
