A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs and a noticeable modulation between thick and thin strokes. Curves are full and rounded, while terminals and serifs carry a subtly calligraphic shaping that gives the letters a gentle, crafted feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Proportions lean moderately wide with open counters and steady spacing, producing an even text color in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals follow the same sculpted logic, with prominent bowls and clear serif articulation.
It performs well in continuous reading settings such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. The pronounced modulation and sturdy serifs also make it suitable for titles, pull quotes, and brand or packaging work that benefits from a classic, cultivated impression.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a hint of old-world warmth. Its high-contrast modulation and sculpted serifs feel traditional and slightly literary, suited to contexts that want authority without looking cold or overly rigid.
The design appears intended as a readable, traditional text serif that balances conventional structure with mildly calligraphic detailing. Its goal seems to be dependable paragraph texture and a recognizable, classic voice for general-purpose publishing and refined display use.
Distinctive details include a curved-leg capital R, a lively, slightly calligraphic S, and a lower-case g with a more traditional, double-storey construction. The italic is not shown; all samples present a consistent upright texture with confident serif definition.
