A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderately tapered strokes that create a clear, readable rhythm. The letterforms lean toward an oldstyle structure: rounded bowls, a relatively short x-height, and open counters that keep paragraphs from feeling dense. Curves are smoothly drawn and joins are clean, with subtle stroke modulation visible in round letters and numerals. Overall spacing reads even and text color stays consistent, while the capitals carry a slightly more stately, bookish presence.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability matters, especially in print. It can also serve for formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif tone.
