This serif presents sturdy, slightly wide proportions with moderate stroke contrast and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that soften into the stems rather than ending abruptly. Curves are generous and rounded (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/p), while verticals stay firm, creating an even, bookish rhythm. Letterforms show subtle calligraphic inflection—visible in the angled stress and tapered joins—without becoming ornate. The lowercase is open and steady with a two-storey a and g, rounded i/j dots, and a gently curved tail on y; numerals are clear and traditional, with a notably curving 2 and a compact, balanced 8.
It suits long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The strong, well-shaped capitals also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a familiar, authoritative serif.
The overall tone is classical and composed, leaning toward a traditional, literary voice. It conveys authority and familiarity rather than fashion, with a calm texture that reads as established and professional.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, slightly oldstyle flavor—prioritizing readability, stable color on the page, and a timeless, publishable character.
Capitals have a dignified presence with slightly flared terminals and triangular serifs that add crispness at larger sizes. Spacing appears comfortably set for continuous reading, and the italic is not shown, keeping the impression firmly rooted in a straightforward roman text style.
