A conventional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a clearly calligraphic stress pattern. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with relatively sturdy hairlines that keep the text color even in paragraph settings. Curves are generous and slightly open, while terminals tend to be softly shaped rather than sharply cut, giving the outlines a measured, bookish rhythm. Capitals are stately and slightly wide in feel, and the overall spacing reads comfortable and text-oriented rather than compressed or display-tight.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and traditional serif cues are desirable. It can also support formal communications—reports, programs, and academic materials—where a familiar, trustworthy typographic tone helps structure dense content.
The font projects a classic, scholarly tone with a calm authority. Its restrained detailing and traditional proportions feel at home in print-centric contexts, suggesting credibility and a familiar literary voice rather than a contemporary or experimental attitude.
The design appears intended as a reliable, traditional text serif that balances high-contrast elegance with practical readability. Its moderated detailing and steady rhythm suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph setting while retaining a refined, classic character for headings and pull quotes.
The figures are oldstyle in spirit, with varying heights and prominent curves that blend smoothly with lowercase texture. The lowercase shows traditional constructions (notably a two-storey “g”) and maintains a steady baseline presence, supporting extended reading. Overall, the design favors clarity and continuity over strong idiosyncratic quirks.
