A classic serif with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that keep contrast modest and even. Proportions feel traditional, with slightly varied character widths and a steady, bookish rhythm across lines. Uppercase forms are sturdy and balanced; the lowercase shows open counters and smooth, rounded joins, with a double-storey “g” and a two-storey structure in other conventional shapes. Numerals align with the same restrained, text-friendly detailing, avoiding sharp geometric extremes.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts, where its moderate detailing and steady texture hold up in paragraphs. It also fits academic and corporate documents that benefit from a conventional, authoritative serif voice, and can support understated branding and headings when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its restrained detailing and familiar serif construction convey credibility and calm, suitable for content meant to be read and trusted rather than shouted.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar letterforms, even color in blocks of copy, and conservative detailing aimed at readability and typographic neutrality.
Serifs are clearly present but not heavy, with soft bracketing that helps letters flow in paragraph settings. Terminals and curves are rounded and controlled, giving the face a polished, mainstream text-serif character rather than a decorative or high-contrast display style.
