A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms have open counters and a steady, bookish rhythm, with rounded joins and subtle flare at the ends of stems and arms. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and traditionally drawn, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle influence in its soft curves and moderate stroke shaping. Numerals follow the same restrained, text-oriented construction, maintaining consistent weight and spacing across the set.
Well suited to book typography, articles, and other continuous-reading settings where an even texture and familiar serif structure support comfort and clarity. It can also serve in reports, academic material, and restrained branding where a traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed-page tradition rather than display novelty. It reads as composed and dependable, with a quiet formality that suits long-form content and editorial contexts.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: familiar, highly readable, and stylistically conservative, emphasizing stability and paragraph-level coherence over decorative character.
In text, the face maintains clear word shapes through generous apertures and well-contained contrast, giving paragraphs an even color. Serifs are present but not sharp or brittle, helping the design stay comfortable at typical reading sizes.
