A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The capitals are proportioned for text settings with clear, slightly flared serifs and smooth transitions into stems; round letters show gentle, calligraphic modulation. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with open counters and sturdy verticals; the two-storey a and g and a relatively compact e contribute to a traditional text color. Numerals appear oldstyle in proportion, with varied heights and ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles, where its traditional proportions and open internal spaces support sustained legibility. It also fits academic and institutional materials—reports, programs, and formal documents—where a conservative serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, suggesting established publishing and institutional communication rather than overt display. It reads as dependable and literary, with a restrained elegance that feels familiar and authoritative without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a familiar, workhorse text serif: balanced proportions, moderate modulation, and conventional forms aim for comfortable readability and a neutral, authoritative presence in print-like layouts.
Spacing appears even and comfortable in the paragraph sample, producing a consistent texture across long lines. The serif treatment stays crisp but not sharp, and the letterforms maintain clarity at larger sizes while still feeling suited to continuous reading.
