This typeface is a conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and compact proportions. Curves are smooth and fairly generous, while terminals and serifs end in crisp, slightly wedge-like shapes that keep the texture clean at text sizes. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and classical (notably the rounded bowls and restrained shoulders), and the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies such as a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a gently angled crossbar on “e.” Numerals are robust and readable, with clear distinctions and steady weight distribution.
It performs well in body text for books, journals, and editorial layouts where a steady, traditional serif texture is desirable. The sturdy uppercase and clear numerals also suit headings, pull quotes, captions, and report-style typography where a conservative, readable tone is needed.
The overall tone is bookish and dependable, with a calm, traditional voice suited to long-form reading. It conveys formality without feeling ornate, projecting a familiar, editorial confidence.
The design appears intended as a versatile, text-first serif that prioritizes readability, familiar letterforms, and an established print-like character. Its restrained contrast and consistent detailing suggest a goal of reliable performance across paragraphs and mixed editorial typography.
The rhythm is even and text-oriented, with compact spacing and a consistent serif treatment across the set. Details like the curved tail on “Q,” the strong diagonal in “R,” and the clear, open counters contribute to legibility and a classic page color.
