This serif typeface shows balanced, traditional proportions with bracketed wedge-like serifs and moderately tapered strokes. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals remain crisp, producing a steady, even texture in paragraphs. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide with clear vertical stress; the lowercase is compact and readable with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a clean, upright “e.” Numerals are oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and some descending forms, reinforcing a text-oriented rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and clear serifs support comfortable scanning. It can also serve in formal documents, academic materials, and traditional branding where a conventional text serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed formality suited to edited text and established institutions. Its restrained contrast and traditional detailing communicate reliability and seriousness without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, conventional serif for continuous text, prioritizing clarity, typographic familiarity, and an even page color over display eccentricities.
Serifs are consistently shaped and moderately pronounced, helping word shapes lock together at text sizes. Capitals have a dignified presence for headings, while the lowercase maintains an even cadence and clear counters for continuous reading.
