This serif presents sturdy, well-proportioned letterforms with bracketed wedge serifs and a moderately modulated stroke. Curves are full and smooth, while joins and terminals show a subtly calligraphic influence rather than rigid geometric construction. Uppercase forms feel slightly wide and settled, with confident horizontals (notably in E/F/T) and a strong, open C. The lowercase has a compact, readable rhythm, with a two-storey a and g, a sturdy h/m/n structure, and a t with a crisp, relatively short crossbar. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varying heights and distinctive curved forms (notably the 6 and 9), reinforcing an editorial, book-oriented texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and moderate contrast maintain comfort and authority. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or academic materials that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed book typography and established editorial practice. It reads as dependable and formal without feeling brittle, combining clarity with a slightly human, ink-drawn warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar print tradition, while adding subtle calligraphic shaping to avoid a purely mechanical feel.
Serifs tend toward triangular, sharpened ends with gentle bracketing, giving text a crisp edge while keeping counters generous. The face maintains an even color in paragraph settings, and the sample text shows strong legibility at larger sizes with a dignified, periodical-like presence.
