A conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs, sturdy vertical stems, and moderate stroke modulation. The proportions feel slightly compact with relatively narrow counters and a steady rhythm, while curves show a gentle vertical stress. Uppercase forms are stately and controlled, and the lowercase maintains clear, workmanlike shapes; the two-storey “a” and “g” and the open “e” contribute to familiar text behavior. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, with noticeable ascenders/descenders and a lighter, more text-integrated presence than lining figures.
Well suited to body copy in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where a stable, familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also serve comfortably in academic or institutional materials, and in print-forward typography where oldstyle numerals help figures blend smoothly into running text.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, institutional feel suited to serious reading. It conveys a classic, editorial confidence rather than a decorative or expressive personality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a dependable, classical reading face with traditional serif detailing and a steady text color. Its restrained contrast and conventional forms prioritize clarity and continuity over display-driven character.
Spacing appears even and conservative, supporting continuous reading and consistent texture. Terminals and serifs are clean and restrained, giving the face a crisp imprint without becoming sharp or brittle.
