A conventional serif with bracketed terminals, moderate contrast, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The capitals show classic proportions with gently tapered strokes and pronounced, slightly calligraphed serifs; curves are smooth and the overall color is even. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, lightly hooked f, and a sturdy, slightly angled e crossbar; counters remain open, aiding clarity at text sizes. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), mixing ascenders and descenders for a more continuous flow in running text.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture is desirable. It can also support academic or institutional materials, and works cleanly for headings when set with ample leading and moderate tracking.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone—measured and credible rather than flashy. Its familiar serif detailing and calm texture suggest editorial seriousness and a quiet sense of authority.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiarity, legibility, and a traditional typographic voice. Oldstyle numerals and restrained contrast reinforce a page-centered, literary use case.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, Y and v, w, y) are crisp and slightly tapered, while round letters like O and Q feel generously drawn with a restrained, classical stress. Spacing in the samples reads comfortable and text-oriented, supporting long-form reading without drawing attention to itself.
