A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed terminals and clear stroke modulation. The letterforms show a calligraphic, slightly oldstyle construction: rounded bowls, tapered joins, and gently flared strokes that give counters a lively, open feel. Uppercase proportions are stately with balanced width and moderate spacing, while the lowercase uses two-storey a and g and a compact, readable rhythm. Numerals appear text-like with varying heights (oldstyle figures), reinforcing a bookish, continuous texture in running copy.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively in headings and pull quotes that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority without feeling overly ornate. Its contrast and sculpted serifs add a formal, editorial polish suited to traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a timeless text face that prioritizes comfortable reading and familiar, historically informed shapes. Its modulation and bracketed serifs aim to deliver an elegant page color for print-like typography in modern layouts.
Serifs are sharply finished yet softly bracketed, creating a refined edge that stays comfortable in paragraphs. Curves and diagonals (notably in S, C, and W) have a slightly flared, drawn quality that keeps the texture from looking mechanical.
