A conventional serif with pronounced stroke modulation and carefully bracketed serifs that read cleanly at text sizes. The letterforms are notably expansive, with generous widths and open counters that create an airy horizontal rhythm. Serifs are crisp and slightly tapered rather than blocky, and many joins show subtle bracketing that softens the contrast transitions. The lowercase has a steady, readable build with a two-storey “a” and “g”, a compact ear on “g”, and a gently angled, well-balanced “e” with a clear crossbar.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The generous proportions also make it effective for spacious headlines, section openers, and pull quotes in print and screen contexts that can accommodate its wide rhythm.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking editorial and literary typography. Its wide stance and high contrast give it a touch of elegance without feeling ornamental, suggesting a confident, established voice suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended as a reliable, traditional text serif with elevated contrast and roomy proportions, aiming to deliver a refined page color and comfortable readability while maintaining a formal, literary character.
Capitals are stately and stable, with broad curves on round letters and a clear hierarchy between thick and thin strokes. Numerals match the texty construction, with smooth curves and serifed endings that keep them consistent in running copy and headings alike.
