A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and sturdy, slightly wide proportions. The letterforms show a steady, print-oriented rhythm with rounded joins, open counters, and clearly articulated terminals that stay crisp at text sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains readable, workmanlike shapes with a single-storey g and a compact, functional italic-free texture.
It performs well in extended reading contexts such as books, articles, essays, and reports, where its steady texture and clear counters support comfortable scanning. The sturdy capitals also make it suitable for section heads, pull quotes, and formal titling when a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking familiar editorial and institutional typography rather than display-driven styling. It reads as confident and traditional, with a calm seriousness suited to long-form reading and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar typographic cues. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim for a durable, print-friendly appearance that can move between body copy and modest display sizes without drawing attention to itself.
Figures are lining and visually solid, with straightforward, slightly oldstyle-influenced shapes that blend smoothly into text. The boldness of the serifs and the even spacing give it a dependable color on the page, and the punctuation and caps carry a firm, authoritative presence in headlines.
