A conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a steady, print-oriented rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with clear thick–thin transitions, especially in rounds and diagonals, while maintaining sturdy stems for text use. Proportions are balanced and slightly compact, with rounded bowls and relatively open counters that keep paragraphs legible. Numerals are lining and align cleanly with the capitals, sharing the same tapered terminals and serif treatment.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits academic materials, reports, and other formal documents that benefit from a conservative, highly readable voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a bookish, institutional character. It reads as dependable and familiar—suited to contexts where clarity and authority matter more than display personality.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: familiar forms, moderate contrast, and carefully controlled details aimed at producing an even color and dependable readability across paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
Curves are smooth and restrained, and joins remain clean without calligraphic flourish. The italic is not shown; the presented style maintains an even, upright texture across continuous text.
