A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes. The outlines show gentle diagonal stress and moderate contrast, with rounded joins and slightly flared terminals that keep counters open. Uppercase proportions are balanced and steady, while the lowercase has a compact, readable build with clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals appear oldstyle, blending smoothly with running text and reinforcing a traditional text rhythm.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a traditional voice are needed. It can also support academic or institutional materials, and works effectively for headings when a conservative, literary tone is desired.
The tone is classic and bookish, evoking editorial and institutional typography rather than display novelty. Its calm modulation and familiar shapes feel authoritative and dependable, with a subtly warm, literary character.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes comfortable reading, familiar forms, and typographic neutrality with a slight classical warmth. Its restrained contrast and bracketed serifs aim for clarity and continuity across long passages.
In continuous text, the font maintains an even color and consistent spacing, producing a stable baseline rhythm. The serif treatment is refined rather than sharp, which helps keep large paragraphs comfortable while still feeling formal.
