A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clear modulation between thick and thin strokes. The forms are upright and steady, with moderate proportions and open counters that keep the texture readable in continuous text. Terminals are predominantly tapered and slightly calligraphic, and the curves (notably in C, S, and the bowls) show controlled contrast and smooth joins. Numerals appear oldstyle, aligning comfortably with lowercase rhythm and contributing to a traditional text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and consistent text rhythm are desirable. It can also support headings and pull quotes when a classic, authoritative tone is needed, pairing naturally with other conventional text faces.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. It feels formal without being ornate, projecting clarity, authority, and a quietly traditional character.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif: optimized for comfortable paragraph setting with familiar letterforms, controlled contrast, and a restrained, professional presence.
Lowercase details such as the two-storey a and g, the sturdy serifs on i/l, and the balanced, rounded bowls produce a familiar reading texture. Capitals are restrained and dignified rather than display-driven, and the italic is not shown in the specimens provided.
