A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Curves are round and generously proportioned, while joins and terminals stay crisp, giving the face a clean, authoritative rhythm. Capitals feel stately and balanced (notably the wide bowls and smooth arcs), and the lowercase shows a traditional text-seriffed structure with two-storey forms and compact, well-defined counters. Numerals follow the same restrained, bookish logic, with clear differentiation and a slightly old-style flavor in the shaping.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is expected. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads when a classic, print-oriented voice is needed, especially in cultural, academic, or institutional settings.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, editorial presence. It reads as composed and trustworthy rather than flashy, suited to contexts where tradition and clarity are desirable.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances elegance with everyday readability. Its restrained contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs aim to produce a familiar page color and a professional tone across both display and text settings.
Serifs often taper to sharp points, adding a subtle engraved or calligraphic edge without becoming decorative. The design keeps a steady texture in paragraphs, with neither overly delicate hairlines nor heavy, blunt terminals, supporting comfortable continuous reading.
