This serif typeface features finely bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a measured stroke modulation that gives the outlines a calm, classical rhythm. Capitals are relatively tall and stately, with generous interior spaces in letters like C, O, and G, and a restrained, slightly calligraphic feel in diagonals and curves. The lowercase shows compact proportions with a noticeably short x-height and clear ascenders, while counters remain open and legible. Figures appear lining with traditional, oldstyle-influenced shapes—most evident in the curving 2 and 3 and the looped 9—contributing to an editorial, bookish texture in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its classical proportions and open counters support sustained legibility. It can also serve effectively in formal communications—programs, invitations, institutional materials—especially when a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward a book-and-journal personality rather than display theatrics. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with enough refinement in the serifs and modulation to suggest heritage and care without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable text serif with classical proportions and a refined, slightly calligraphic finish. Its short x-height and traditional figure styling suggest a focus on literary and editorial typography rather than contemporary UI or high-impact display.
Letterforms maintain consistent stroke endings and serif treatment across the set, producing a smooth color on the page at text sizes. Curves are drawn with a slightly humanist softness, and spacing appears even, helping long passages feel steady and unforced.
