A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, with restrained flare and clear vertical stress; curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and controlled, and terminals tend toward angled or lightly hooked finishes. Lowercase forms are compact with a moderately sized x-height and noticeable ascender/descender presence; the double-storey a and g read clearly, and the overall spacing feels tidy with a slightly varied letter width across the set. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varying heights and ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and other longform editorial typography where a dependable text serif is needed. It also fits academic documents, reports, and print layouts that benefit from a classic voice and cohesive text color, especially where oldstyle numerals are preferred in running copy.
The font projects a familiar, literary tone—measured, authoritative, and quietly elegant. It feels suited to traditional editorial environments where clarity and convention are valued over overt personality.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif that prioritizes steady rhythm and familiar forms. Its bracketed serifs, moderate modulation, and oldstyle numerals suggest an aim toward comfortable continuous reading and traditional typographic styling.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment and stroke modulation across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs an even color. Word shapes are stable and legible at text sizes, while the oldstyle numerals add a subtly traditional texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
