A conventional serif with open proportions, generous sidebearings, and a steady, readable rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently tapered joins, and serifs are bracketed with subtly flared, slightly cupped terminals rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and full (not overly geometric), with modest apertures and a calm, upright stance. Numerals and capitals feel balanced and sturdy, with small spur-like details and softly modeled stroke endings that keep the texture even in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even text color and familiar letterforms are important. It also works for formal documents and institutional communication, and can scale up effectively for headlines that need a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting printed books and editorial typography. Its measured contrast and restrained detailing convey seriousness and trust, without feeling ornate or display-driven.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional in structure, readable at paragraph sizes, and refined enough for publishing contexts while remaining unobtrusive.
The design leans toward oldstyle influence in the lowercase, with a two-storey “g,” a round, open “e,” and a slightly calligraphic modulation in diagonals and joins. Capitals have clear, classical proportions and a composed presence that pairs well with the quieter lowercase.
