This serif typeface shows a classic book-face structure with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and softly tapered terminals. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with open counters and a restrained, traditional silhouette. The lowercase has a compact, readable rhythm, including a two-storey “a,” a two-storey “g” with a small ear, and a pointed, slightly calligraphic “w.” Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging) and follow the same moderate contrast and serif detailing, helping text maintain an even color in continuous reading.
It is well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, journals, and reports, where a stable rhythm and familiar serif forms support comprehension. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes in editorial layouts when a classical, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial polish that reads as trustworthy and literature-oriented rather than decorative. Its detailing suggests a quiet formality—suited to refined communication where clarity and convention are valued.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse text serif: to deliver comfortable readability, a composed page color, and a traditionally “literary” voice across both paragraphs and supporting typographic elements like numerals and punctuation.
Text samples show steady spacing and a calm, consistent texture at paragraph size, with punctuation and ampersand matching the same understated, classical voice. The serifs and terminals stay crisp without feeling sharp, and the modulation is present but not high-drama, supporting legibility over flourish.
