A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear contrast with diagonal stress, producing crisp hairlines and sturdier stems without feeling razor-thin. Proportions are on the wider side with open counters and generous internal space, helping large text stay airy. Serifs are not overly long but distinctly shaped, and curves are smoothly modeled, giving capitals a composed, bookish presence and lowercase a steady rhythm.
This style fits long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts, where a familiar serif rhythm and clear contrast support a classic page color. It also works well for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a calm formality suited to established institutions. Its contrast and serif shaping convey refinement and authority rather than novelty, reading as trustworthy and editorial.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif: wide enough to stay open, contrasted enough to feel refined, and restrained in detailing to maintain a smooth, consistent paragraph texture across mixed-case settings.
The numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders/descenders) and the italic-like entry/exit shaping is minimal, keeping the texture stable in paragraphs. Uppercase forms feel slightly monumental while the lowercase remains straightforward, making it comfortable for continuous reading when set with adequate size and leading.
