A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a classic, slightly calligraphic stress in round characters, with sturdy verticals and smooth, tapered joins. Counters are open and the rhythm is even, producing a steady texture in paragraphs; capitals read broad and authoritative while lowercase keeps clear, familiar proportions. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders that blend naturally into text settings.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where an authoritative serif texture is desirable. It also works for academic or institutional materials and for branding that benefits from a classic, established feel, especially in headlines and subheads.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting seriousness and credibility. It feels suited to established institutions and long-form reading, with a calm, familiar voice rather than a trendy or experimental one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that balances readability with a traditional, prestigious character. Details like moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle figures support comfortable long-form composition while maintaining a refined, formal presence.
Serifs are clean and firmly anchored, giving the face a confident baseline presence, while curves and terminals remain gently softened rather than razor-sharp. The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity and consistent color at display-to-text sizes.
