This serif typeface shows sturdy, bracketed serifs and a moderate stroke modulation that reads as traditional rather than high-contrast. Capitals are wide and steady with softly sculpted joins, while the lowercase has a rounded, oldstyle flavor with generous bowls and slightly tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and confident, with a consistent rhythm across the alphabet; details like the ball terminal on the “j” and the open, readable counters reinforce a text-oriented construction. Numerals appear proportional and harmonized with the letters, with rounded forms and clear differentiation.
It is well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a familiar serif texture aids comfortable reading. The confident capitals and sturdy serifs also make it effective for headlines, institutional communications, and brand applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting credibility and familiarity. Its warm, slightly calligraphic shaping gives it an editorial presence without feeling ornate, making it feel established and dependable.
The font appears designed as a conventional text serif that emphasizes readability and a classic typographic color, pairing robust serifs with moderated contrast for dependable performance in continuous reading while still offering enough character for display use.
The design balances robustness with refinement: serifs are present and clearly bracketed, but not sharp or delicate, and the modulation is enough to guide the eye through long lines. The italic is not shown; the displayed style maintains a steady, upright texture in paragraph settings.
