A compact, text-oriented serif with bracketed serifs and subtly calligraphic modulation. Strokes show clear but moderate contrast with diagonal stress in round forms, and the joins and terminals are smoothly modeled rather than sharply mechanized. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a “g” that reads as single-storey. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and gentle curves that integrate naturally with running text.
This font is well suited to body copy in books, magazines, and other long-form editorial layouts where a stable, familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively for headings and subheads that need a conventional, authoritative voice without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking established editorial typography. It feels measured and trustworthy, with a quiet formality suited to serious content rather than overt display.
The design appears intended as a dependable general-purpose reading serif: conservative in structure, comfortable in continuous text, and refined through modest contrast and bracketed detailing to maintain warmth and legibility.
Several glyphs feature small ball-like terminals and softly tapered endings, lending a traditional, humanist flavor. Spacing appears even and text color is solid, supporting long passages without drawing attention to individual letterforms.
