A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes that create a steady, readable rhythm. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with open counters and smooth curves in rounds like C, O, and Q. Terminals are restrained and slightly calligraphic in feel, while joins and curves stay clean rather than ornate. The lowercase shows a sturdy texture with a two-storey a, a compact e, and a narrow, upright f; the overall color remains even across words and lines.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and other long-form reading where an even texture and clear serif structure support comfort and continuity. It also works for editorial design, magazine features, and identity systems that want a traditional, established typographic voice.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting tradition and editorial authority rather than display eccentricity. It feels comfortable and familiar, suited to content that benefits from a composed, credible voice.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and familiarity, offering a classic structure and moderate stroke modulation for consistent performance in paragraphs and headlines alike.
Numerals appear in an oldstyle (text-figure) style with varying heights and occasional descenders, reinforcing a book-typography flavor. Capitals are dignified and slightly wide in stance, with a clear, traditional Q tail and a robust W structure that reads well at larger sizes.
