A traditional serif with softly bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a generally open, readable build. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with gently cupped serifs, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies such as a two‑storey “a,” a double‑storey “g,” and rounded joins that keep counters open. Curves transition smoothly into stems, terminals are subtly sheared rather than blunt, and spacing feels comfortable for continuous reading. Numerals follow the same text-oriented rhythm, with clear, familiar shapes and consistent serif treatment.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its traditional proportions and open counters support sustained legibility. It also works well for institutional materials—reports, programs, and formal correspondence—where a classic serif tone is desirable.
The overall tone is conventional and cultivated, evoking printed books, academic settings, and editorial typography. Its controlled contrast and restrained detailing communicate seriousness without feeling rigid, giving it a quietly authoritative, literate voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar, readable, and culturally “bookish,” with just enough modulation and bracketed serif shaping to convey craft while staying neutral in continuous text.
In text, the face holds a steady horizontal rhythm: the serifs are present but not sharp, and the modulation is noticeable yet not dramatic, helping maintain clarity at paragraph sizes. The lowercase includes several slightly calligraphic touches (notably in “e,” “c,” and “s”), which adds warmth to an otherwise formal structure.
