A conventional text serif with clear contrast between thick verticals and finer hairlines, and crisply bracketed serifs. The proportions feel balanced and moderately compact, with a steady rhythm and controlled spacing that supports continuous reading. Curves are smooth and fairly round (not overly geometric), while joins and terminals stay clean and decisive; the lowercase shows traditional, slightly calligraphic shaping with sturdy stems and restrained details.
Well-suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and strong readability are desired. It also fits reports, academic material, and other formal documents that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying reliability and a quietly refined seriousness. It reads as traditional and literary rather than trendy, with a composed, slightly formal voice suited to long-form communication.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose reading face: conventional, high-contrast serif forms tuned for paragraph texture and comfortable long-form typesetting, while remaining formal enough for headings and pull quotes.
Figures appear to follow a traditional book style, with noticeable variation in widths and some descending forms among the numerals, reinforcing an editorial feel. Capitals are solid and dignified with consistent serif treatment, and the type maintains a clear texture in paragraph settings without looking overly delicate.
