A conventional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and clear stroke modulation. The letterforms show moderately high contrast between stems and hairlines, with smooth, rounded joins and a steady, upright posture. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with open counters and a comfortable rhythm in continuous setting; capitals are stately without feeling overly condensed. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, adding a traditional texture in mixed text.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also suits chapter titles, pull quotes, and institutional or academic materials that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—measured and reputable rather than flashy. Its contrast and refined serifs give it a formal, editorial voice suitable for serious or heritage-leaning communication.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional serif for general-purpose text composition, aiming for readability and an established, literary character while retaining enough contrast and crispness to scale into display settings.
Serif detailing stays crisp at display sizes, while the overall spacing and regularity suggest an emphasis on even color in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; the roman’s construction leans toward traditional text serif conventions with subtle calligraphic influence in curves and terminals.
