A restrained serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a clean, well-balanced construction. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded terminals in several lowercase forms (notably the two-storey “g” and the ball-like terminal on “j”), while capitals maintain a dignified, lightly sculpted feel. The texture is even and readable in paragraph setting, with comfortable spacing and clear counters; figures appear lining and proportional, matching the text color without calling attention to themselves.
Well-suited to body copy in books and long-form editorial layouts, where its even color and open counters support sustained reading. It also works effectively for magazine text, scholarly material, and general publishing where a conventional serif voice is desired without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography rather than display dramatics. It feels composed and trustworthy, with a quiet refinement that supports long reading and editorial contexts.
Designed to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience with a familiar serif vocabulary and disciplined rhythm. The intent appears to prioritize clarity and typographic neutrality while retaining enough modulation and detailing to feel polished on the page.
Diagonal strokes (as in V, W, X, Y) are sharp and controlled, and the numerals show familiar old-style cues in their shaping while staying visually consistent with the roman. The lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with unobtrusive serifs and a gently rounded finish on several forms, helping the font stay friendly at text sizes.
