A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a calm, even color on the page. Capitals are proportioned with restrained width and clear classical structure, while the lowercase shows readable, open apertures and a steady rhythm. Curves exhibit mild calligraphic stress, terminals are crisp without becoming sharp, and joins stay smooth, producing a cohesive, bookish texture. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders/descenders) and follow the same moderate contrast and serif treatment as the letters.
Well suited to body text in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable reading rhythm are priorities. It also works for reports, essays, and other formal documents, and can support headings when a traditional, understated presence is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a literary, editorial character that feels at home in long-form reading. Its details suggest formality and craft without calling attention to themselves, giving text a composed, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: readable at continuous text sizes, stylistically conservative, and built to deliver a consistent, classic page color across a wide range of content.
The typeface maintains consistent serif shapes and stroke endings across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping paragraphs hold a stable texture. Punctuation and ampersand match the same restrained, classical styling seen in the letterforms.
