A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a crisp, slightly calligraphic stroke modulation. The letterforms show moderate vertical stress with clean joins and tapered terminals, giving the design a precise, cut-stone feel rather than a soft, rounded one. Proportions are balanced and readable: capitals are stately with controlled width, while lowercase forms maintain steady rhythm and spacing; the two-storey “a” and “g” reinforce a text-oriented construction. Numerals align with the same serifed, slightly tapered treatment for a consistent color in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also works for institutional or academic material—reports, programs, and formal communications—where a composed, traditional typographic voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and restraint. Its sharp serifs and measured contrast suggest editorial polish and a traditional, cultivated voice suited to serious reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes legibility and typographic familiarity while adding a slightly sharper, more refined edge through tapered serifs and controlled modulation.
Counters are open and well-shaped, supporting clarity at text sizes, while the sharper apexes and terminals add a subtly dramatic edge in larger settings. The italic is not shown; the presented style reads as a straightforward roman intended for continuous text and composed display.
