A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a moderately modulated stroke that reads cleanly at text sizes. The letters show open, rounded bowls and generous counters, with a steady rhythm and slightly formal proportions. Uppercase forms feel balanced and stable, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably i/l/j and c/e) and uses compact, readable joins. Numerals follow the same text-seriffed logic, with smooth curves and understated terminals that keep them cohesive in running copy.
Well suited to body text in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice supports comfortable long-form reading. It can also serve headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, editorial presence. It suggests traditional print typography—measured, trustworthy, and quietly refined—without ornamental flourish.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif: traditional in structure, consistent in detail, and optimized for readable rhythm in continuous settings. Its restrained serif treatment and moderate modulation aim to provide clarity and a classic print feel across both text and display sizes.
Serif details remain restrained and consistent across the set, helping the face stay legible in paragraph settings. Diagonal strokes (such as in V, W, X, and the arm/leg on K) keep a crisp edge, while round letters retain soft, even curvature.
