A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear modulation between thick and thin strokes. Curves are full and slightly oval, with smooth transitions into stems and terminals that often end in small teardrops or angled beaks. The lowercase shows an oldstyle flavor—noticeably in the two-storey “a,” the open, calligraphic “g,” and the gently angled stress in round letters—while overall spacing and proportions stay steady and readable. Numerals are robust and well-balanced, with open counters and strong vertical emphasis.
It performs well in extended reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and open counters support legibility. The stronger contrast and firm serifs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and formal communication materials that need a traditional voice.
The font projects a traditional, bookish tone—confident, composed, and familiar. It feels suited to established institutions and long-form reading, with enough contrast and crispness to add a touch of seriousness and refinement without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, mainstream text serif with a lightly oldstyle character: traditional structure, restrained elegance, and consistent readability across paragraphs and display sizes.
Stroke endings and serifs tend to be sharp and slightly tapered, giving text a clean, decisive rhythm. The caps are sturdy and reserved, pairing well with the more lively lowercase forms, which add a subtle humanist warmth in continuous text.
