A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: rounded bowls with slightly tapered joins, a two-storey “g,” and a gently angled crossbar on “e.” Capitals are proportioned for text settings rather than display, with restrained, flared terminals and comfortable internal space. The numerals appear text-oriented, with varying heights (oldstyle-style figures) and a clear, legible rhythm in continuous reading.
Well-suited to body copy in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture is desired. It also fits reports, academic material, and other text-heavy documents that benefit from a familiar, authoritative reading experience, while remaining competent for headings when set with adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a familiar book-page authority. It feels composed and editorial rather than decorative, lending a calm, established voice to long-form content and institutional communication.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif with a subtly oldstyle flavor—aiming for readability, typographic familiarity, and a professional tone across long passages.
Spacing and counters read evenly in the sample text, supporting sustained paragraphs. Several forms (notably “a,” “e,” and “g”) lean toward an oldstyle, humanist construction, while the serifs remain crisp enough to keep the texture from becoming soft or mushy.
