A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a calm, even rhythm in text. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with crisp terminals and gently tapered strokes. Lowercase forms show open apertures and a slightly calligraphic influence (notably in the two‑storey a and g), with round counters and steady spacing that supports continuous reading. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a flowing baseline presence that blends naturally into running text.
Well-suited to body text in books, journals, and editorial layouts where sustained legibility and a familiar serif texture are desired. It also fits formal communications—reports, programs, and institutional materials—especially where oldstyle numerals and a restrained, classic voice are appropriate.
The overall tone is bookish and dependable, evoking established print typography and institutional polish. It reads as composed and conventional, with enough warmth from the subtle modulation to avoid feeling mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for comfortable reading and typographic neutrality, relying on balanced proportions, moderate contrast, and classic serif construction rather than distinctive stylistic novelty.
Curves and joins are smooth and controlled, with no exaggerated flourishes; the italics are not shown, and the roman carries most of the personality through quiet contrast and bracketed detailing. The figures and punctuation feel designed to sit comfortably in paragraphs rather than stand apart as display elements.
