A conventional serif with noticeably bracketed, slightly flared serifs and clear stroke modulation. Curves show calligraphic stress, with fuller bowls and tapered joins that create a steady, bookish rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase has rounded counters and a gently compact, readable texture. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and a more text-like flow than lining figures, reinforcing a page-oriented feel.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, where its modulation and bracketed serifs help guide the eye. It also fits headlines, pull quotes, and traditional branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice without appearing ornamental.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a measured, editorial gravitas. Its crisp contrast and sculpted serifs suggest classic print typography, leaning formal and authoritative rather than casual or decorative.
The design appears intended as a reliable, conventional text serif that balances crisp contrast with comfortable readability. Its oldstyle numerals and calligraphic detailing point toward immersive reading contexts and traditional editorial typography.
Details such as ball terminals (notably on forms like the lowercase 'f') and the distinctive ear and loop of the double-storey 'g' add character without disrupting paragraph color. The italic is not shown, and the displayed roman maintains consistent, classical proportions across letters and figures.
