A conventional text serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show rounded, slightly squared-off bowls and a steady, upright stance, with capitals that feel expansive and generously proportioned. Curves transition into stems with smooth bracketing, while terminals often finish in pointed, beak-like details that add bite to the silhouettes. Spacing reads open and even in text, supporting a calm rhythm despite the strong contrast.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, books, and other longform reading where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, established institutions, and editorial authority. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast strokes lend a sense of formality and gravitas, while the rounded joins keep it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classical serif for continuous reading, emphasizing strong contrast, crisp serifs, and a stable, upright rhythm to deliver clarity and an established print character.
The figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with noticeable modulation and serifed structure that blends well with the lowercase in running text. The lowercase shows clear differentiation between similar shapes (such as i/l/j), and the italic is not shown here, reinforcing a straightforward roman text voice.
