This typeface presents a conventional serif structure with bracketed serifs and gently modulated stroke weight. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress, and joins are smooth, giving letters a steady, bookish rhythm. Proportions are balanced rather than condensed, with generous inner counters and clear differentiation between rounds and straights. The lowercase includes a two-storey “a” and “g,” sturdy verticals, and restrained, slightly cupped serifs, producing a stable texture across lines of text. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with ascenders and descenders, integrating naturally into running copy.
The design is well suited to continuous reading in books, articles, and editorial layouts where an even, traditional text color is desirable. It can also support academic or corporate documents that benefit from a conventional, authoritative serif presence, and it scales well for headings when a classic tone is needed.
Overall, the font conveys a traditional, literary tone—measured and dependable rather than flashy. Its familiar serif voice feels suited to established institutions and long-form reading, with a calm authority that reads as formal without becoming ornate.
The font appears intended as a reliable, general-purpose text serif: familiar forms, moderate modulation, and unobtrusive details emphasize readability and typographic neutrality. The inclusion of oldstyle figures suggests an orientation toward refined, book-oriented composition and running text.
Capitals are stately and evenly weighted, with clean terminals and moderate contrast that keeps the color of the text consistent. Spacing in the samples looks comfortable, and the punctuation and basic symbols shown (such as the ampersand) align stylistically with the understated serif detailing.
