A restrained text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and carefully tapered joins. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with crisp wedge-like serifs and smooth curves that keep round letters clean and open. Lowercase forms show traditional construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact shoulders, and gently flared terminals; spacing reads balanced and unforced in continuous text. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders and descenders), matching the face’s book-oriented rhythm and giving figures a more integrated flow within paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books, journals, and editorial layouts where an even rhythm and familiar serif detailing support comfortable text setting. It can also serve effectively for formal documents and institutional communications, especially when paired with oldstyle numerals in running copy.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting quiet authority rather than showiness. It feels measured and cultivated—appropriate for contexts where readability and tradition are part of the message.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable serif for body text, emphasizing legibility, traditional proportions, and typographic neutrality while retaining a subtle, refined finish in the serifs and terminals.
Curves are drawn with a soft, controlled tension, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) keep a slightly sharper, more calligraphic edge. The punctuation and basic forms maintain a consistent, conservative finish suited to sustained reading.
