A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and noticeable stroke modulation. Capitals are stately and fairly wide with sharp apexes and tapered joins, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm and a moderately sized x-height. Curves show a vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin transitions, with round letters (o, c, e) staying smooth and compact. Details like the ball terminal on the lowercase a and the beaked/triangular serif shapes give the design a distinctly bookish, old-style-leaning finish, while figures follow the same proportional, high-contrast construction.
Well suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture and strong word-shape clarity are valued. It can also work for magazines or newspaper-style settings, and for headings that need a classic, authoritative presence without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is classic and composed, projecting authority and tradition. It reads as literary and editorial rather than playful, with a polished, conservative voice suited to established institutions and long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif with a refined, historically informed construction. Its aim is to balance readability with a dignified, traditional character suitable for serious reading environments.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. Numerals and capitals feel robust and headline-capable, while the lowercase maintains clear word shapes for continuous text.
