A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, clear stroke modulation, and a steady upright stance. The capitals are well-proportioned and slightly wide with crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows moderate x-height, rounded bowls, and sturdy verticals. Curves and joins feel gently calligraphic, with soft bracketing into the serifs and a consistent rhythm across words. Numerals are lining and robust, with open counters and distinctive, slightly decorative terminals on forms like 2, 3, and 7.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice supports comfortable scanning. It also works well for headings, pull quotes, and formal documents that benefit from a traditional, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and established publishing conventions. It feels authoritative without being overly ornamental, with enough contrast and detail to read as refined and professional.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that balances readability with a touch of classical refinement. Its moderate contrast and conventional proportions suggest a focus on sustained reading while preserving crisp, elegant detail for display use.
In text, the face maintains a calm, even color while the higher-contrast details add crispness at larger sizes. The letterforms lean toward familiar, time-tested proportions, with subtle individuality in the curved terminals and the way serifs flare and taper.
