A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and smooth, moderate stroke contrast. The proportions are balanced and readable, with a steady rhythm and generous counters; round letters (O, Q, o) stay fairly open while verticals remain firm. Terminals tend to be wedge-like and softly tapered, giving the shapes a subtly calligraphic finish without becoming decorative. Numerals include oldstyle figures, with varied ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
It suits body copy in books and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a traditional texture are important. It also works well for institutional or heritage-leaning branding, certificates, and formal invitations that benefit from a familiar, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting an editorial, trustworthy voice rather than a modern or experimental one. Its restrained contrast and traditional serif detailing evoke print culture—books, journals, and formal communications.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional in structure, comfortable at paragraph sizes, and refined enough for display use in headings. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests an emphasis on classic typographic conventions for running text.
Capitals feel stately and measured, with a slightly wide, stable stance in letters like M and W and crisp diagonals in V, W, and Y. The lowercase maintains a traditional text color, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a straightforward, upright text orientation.
