A conventional text serif with bracketed wedge serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly wide, with crisp terminals and clear, open counters. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a looped “g,” alongside a modest x-height and comfortable spacing that supports continuous reading. Numerals appear in an oldstyle (text-figure) style with varying heights and ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a classic typographic texture in running text.
This font is well suited to body text in books and other longform reading, where its balanced proportions and consistent serif structure maintain an even color on the page. It also fits editorial contexts such as magazines and newspapers, as well as reports and institutional documents that benefit from a conventional, readable serif tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a composed, literary presence that reads as established and trustworthy. Its moderate contrast and familiar serif vocabulary give it a quietly formal character suited to settings where clarity and convention are valued.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, classic text face that prioritizes readability and a familiar typographic voice. Its oldstyle numerals and restrained contrast suggest an emphasis on comfortable, traditional composition in continuous text.
Details lean toward a slightly calligraphic construction in joins and curves, while maintaining clean, restrained finishing. The punctuation and ampersand carry the same conservative, print-like voice as the letters, helping paragraphs feel cohesive rather than decorative.
