A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a moderately modulated stroke. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic stress with smooth joins and rounded terminals, producing an even, readable rhythm in text. Capitals are sturdy and well-proportioned, while the lowercase includes traditional shapes such as a double-storey a and g, a compact e with a small eye, and a softly curved y with a ball-like terminal. Numerals are lining and adopt the same serifed, gently tapered treatment, with clear differentiation and steady spacing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits reports, academic material, and other formal documents that benefit from a familiar, composed texture in continuous text.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, leaning toward established editorial and literary typography rather than overt display. Its restrained modulation and familiar proportions convey seriousness and trust, with a quiet warmth from the slightly softened curves and terminals.
The font appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes legibility and a balanced page color. Its moderated contrast and classic serif detailing suggest a purpose-built choice for sustained reading and professional, print-like typography.
The design balances crisp serif definition with rounded inner curves, helping counters stay open at text sizes. Curved letters like C, G, S, and the lowercase s have a smooth, slightly humanist flow, while verticals remain firm enough to keep paragraphs looking orderly and composed.
