A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even rhythm. The capitals are proportioned and slightly wide, with clear, traditional constructions and relatively restrained terminals. Lowercase forms show a compact, readable build with gently cupped serifs, rounded bowls, and a two-storey a and g; spacing appears comfortable and consistent in both the grid and paragraph sample. Numerals follow an oldstyle pattern (varying heights and extenders), matching the text-oriented color of the design.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where consistent texture and conventional letterforms help maintain comfort over multiple paragraphs. It also fits professional documents and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, dependable serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness and a familiar literary voice. Its measured contrast and traditional detailing feel formal without being ornate, projecting stability and credibility in running text.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a familiar, text-first serif optimized for clarity and steady color in continuous reading. Oldstyle numerals and restrained detailing reinforce a traditional typographic palette aimed at editorial and literary use.
In paragraph setting the texture stays even, with clear differentiation between similar forms (such as I/l/1) and a calm, readable cadence. The design leans toward traditional print conventions, with details that support extended reading rather than display impact.
