A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a gently calligraphic rhythm, with rounded joins and stable, vertical stress in many curves. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with compact counters and sturdy stems; capitals are stately without extreme width, while lowercase forms keep a readable, workmanlike texture. Numerals appear lining and follow the same serifed, moderately contrasted construction.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its traditional proportions and moderate contrast maintain a comfortable texture. It also fits academic or institutional materials, and can serve branding needs that call for a classic, established voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, leaning formal and trustworthy rather than trendy. Its controlled contrast and traditional detailing evoke printed literature, editorial typography, and institutional communications.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif: familiar forms, moderate modulation, and consistent bracketed serifs aimed at readability and a timeless typographic presence.
The serif treatment is consistent across the set, producing a steady baseline and a cohesive text color. Round characters (C, O, Q) stay smooth and measured, while diagonals (V, W, X) feel firm and slightly calligraphic, supporting clear word shapes in running text.
