This typeface is a conventional serif with bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and softly tapered terminals that suggest an oldstyle influence. Strokes show a clear but moderate thick–thin relationship, with smooth curves and gently modulated diagonals that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or extended, with generous counters and a steady baseline rhythm. The lowercase uses a double-storey “a,” open apertures, and compact ascenders/descenders that support consistent color in text.
It performs well for continuous reading in books, essays, and long-form editorial layouts where a stable serif texture is important. It also suits reports, academic materials, and other document settings that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a calm, editorial presence. It conveys tradition and credibility without feeling ornate, making it suitable for serious, content-first typography.
The design appears intended as a reliable, general-purpose text serif: familiar letterforms, moderate modulation, and restrained detailing aimed at comfortable reading and typographic neutrality.
Capitals read clean and stable with understated detailing, while numerals align comfortably with the text style rather than drawing attention. The italics are not shown, and the presented forms prioritize straightforward readability over display flair.
