This is a sturdy text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show a calligraphic underpinning with softened joins and slightly tapered terminals, giving curves and diagonals a smooth, carved feel rather than a sharp, mechanical one. Proportions read as traditional and comfortable: round letters are full, counters are moderately open, and the lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” with a compact, readable rhythm. Numerals are clear and steady, matching the text color and overall weight distribution of the alphabet.
It is well-suited to continuous reading in books, long-form editorial, and print-forward layouts where a dependable serif texture is desired. It can also serve for reports, academic or institutional materials, and restrained headlines that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, slightly traditional voice. It suggests print credibility and a familiar literary presence rather than a trendy or experimental mood.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile text serif that balances readability with a refined, traditional silhouette. Its moderate stroke modulation and bracketed serifs aim to produce stable paragraph color and a familiar editorial character.
In paragraph setting the font maintains an even texture with a confident, dark typographic color, aided by sturdy serifs and moderate contrast. The uppercase has a stately presence suitable for headings, while the lowercase stays readable and calm for longer lines.
