A classic text serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves transition smoothly into stems, and several lowercase forms show gently calligraphic shaping with occasional ball terminals, giving the design a warm rhythm rather than a purely mechanical feel. Counters are moderately open and the spacing reads even, supporting continuous text. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and extenders, aligning visually with the lowercase texture.
This font is well suited for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a conventional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings and literary titles that benefit from a formal, established tone, especially when paired with generous leading.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, editorial presence. Its high-contrast strokes and tidy serifs suggest formality and refinement, while the slightly organic detailing keeps it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for text composition, combining classical proportions with crisp contrast and subtle calligraphic cues. The use of oldstyle numerals and restrained details suggests an emphasis on traditional publishing norms and harmonious page color.
The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits consistent serif treatment across capitals and lowercase, with clean joins and restrained detailing. The overall color on the page is crisp and slightly bright due to the contrast, making it feel well suited to typographic settings that want a clear, established voice.
