A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even rhythm. The capitals are stately and fairly wide with clean, slightly flared serifs and smooth joins, while the lowercase shows open bowls and clear apertures that keep paragraphs readable. Curves are round and controlled (not overly geometric), with crisp wedge-like terminals on several letters and a tidy, centered feel in the overall spacing. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a more text-oriented presence than lining figures.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where comfortable reading and a familiar typographic voice are priorities. It can also support headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif presence.
The tone is classic and bookish, evoking traditional publishing and editorial typography. It feels composed and authoritative without becoming ornate, lending a sense of seriousness and trust to longer reading passages.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text face that prioritizes legibility, stable rhythm, and a familiar serif vocabulary. Its restrained contrast and open forms suggest a focus on versatile, everyday typography for publishing and formal communication.
