A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently tapered strokes that keep contrast moderate rather than sharp. The capitals feel wide and steady, with crisp terminals and a slightly calligraphic modulation, while the lowercase shows rounded joins and occasional ball terminals that soften the texture. Bowls are generous and counters open, giving the face a readable, even rhythm in text. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and a more text-friendly cadence than lining figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It can also serve for magazine headlines, section heads, and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority without looking austere. Its shapes suggest an editorial, literary voice—confident, established, and slightly warm due to the rounded terminals and moderate stroke modulation.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: readable, historically informed, and adaptable across display-to-text sizes while maintaining a composed, formal presence.
In the sample text, the color on the page is firm and dark with clear word shapes, suited to larger text settings as well as extended reading. The italic is not shown, and the displayed style reads as a straightforward roman with conventional proportions and conservative detailing.
