A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The forms are relatively wide with comfortable sidebearings and open counters, giving the text a calm, breathable texture. Serifs are tapered and slightly flared rather than slab-like, and many curves show a subtle diagonal stress. Lowercase features a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a tall t with a crisp crossbar; numerals appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable spacing support sustained legibility. It can also work for formal publishing applications—reports, programs, and institutional materials—especially when oldstyle numerals are desirable in text.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial and literary feel. It reads as traditional and trustworthy, balancing refinement with practicality rather than leaning decorative or austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a classical profile: moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and proportions that prioritize readability and an established, print-oriented tone. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests an emphasis on seamless integration of figures within running text.
In paragraph settings, the face maintains an even color and clear word shapes, helped by sturdy serifs and open apertures. The relatively large capitals and prominent oldstyle figures add a slightly traditional, book-typography flavor that can feel more historic than strictly modern.
