A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes, showing clear thick–thin transitions without feeling overly sharp. The letterforms are open and evenly proportioned, with rounded bowls and a steady rhythm across text. Uppercase characters have restrained, classical capitals with tapered terminals and a slightly calligraphic feel in curves like C, G, and S. Lowercase forms read smoothly with compact, well-contained counters and straightforward constructions; the overall texture is clean and consistent, suited to continuous reading.
Well-suited to book and long-form reading, including novels, essays, and academic or institutional documents. It also fits editorial layouts such as magazines and newspapers where a classic serif texture and reliable readability are desired.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured and trustworthy rather than trendy. Its modest contrast and conventional proportions create a composed, editorial voice that feels appropriate for formal and informational settings.

Numerals appear lining with clear, familiar shapes and unobtrusive detailing, matching the serifed texture of the letters.
