A conventional serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed serifs throughout. The letterforms show oldstyle-leaning proportions with softly tapered strokes, rounded joins, and a steady baseline rhythm. Uppercase characters are stately and open, while the lowercase has a slightly calligraphic feel, with a two-storey “g” and gently curved terminals that keep texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals appear lining-style with clear, balanced shapes that sit comfortably alongside the capitals.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and other long-form reading where consistent texture and comfortable spacing matter. It can also serve editorial layouts, reports, and academic material that benefits from a traditional serif voice and dependable legibility.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established editorial typography rather than display experimentation. Its calm rhythm and familiar serif details convey seriousness and trust, with a warm, humanist undercurrent that keeps it from feeling rigid or sterile.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose reading serif: familiar, balanced, and optimized for sustained text. It prioritizes steady color, conventional proportions, and understated detail over overt stylization.
Counters remain fairly open and the spacing looks measured, producing an even gray value in continuous text. Serifs are present but not heavy, and the moderate contrast is consistent across the alphabet, helping maintain clarity at text sizes.
