A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clearly modulated strokes. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress and the joins are clean, giving letters a crisp, engraved feeling without excessive ornament. Capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned; the lowercase is readable with compact bowls and a balanced x-height. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with varying heights and gentle curves, matching the text rhythm well.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine articles, where its serif structure and steady rhythm support legibility. It also works for formal communications and titling that benefits from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying authority and polish. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast add a formal, editorial voice while remaining calm and familiar rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary texture, pairing crisp serif details with restrained proportions for dependable use in editorial settings.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. Round letters (C, O, Q) are smooth and open, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and the pointed joins add a slightly sharper, more assertive texture in headlines. Spacing looks measured for continuous reading, with a consistent baseline and steady color across the sample paragraph.
