A traditional serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed, tapered serifs. The letterforms show a balanced, book-oriented proportion with rounded bowls and clear, open counters, while capitals have a stately, slightly calligraphic presence. Details like the wedge-like terminals, angled stress in round letters, and a diagonal leg on R contribute to a familiar, time-tested rhythm that remains crisp in text. Numerals and lowercase are evenly paced, with a two-storey a and g and compact, steady joins that support continuous reading.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and familiar serif structure help sustain legibility. It also fits formal documents, academic material, and print-forward branding that benefits from a conventional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. It feels formal without becoming ornate, projecting a calm, trustworthy voice suited to serious content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: conservative in structure, moderately contrasted, and optimized for an even reading rhythm rather than display eccentricity.
The face maintains consistent texture across mixed-case settings, with comfortable word shapes and clear differentiation among similar forms. Serifs are not heavy, keeping the page color even while still providing a distinctly traditional silhouette.
