A robust serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a steady, moderately modulated stroke. Proportions are on the generous side, with open apertures and ample internal space that keep letters clear at text sizes. The lowercase shows traditional shapes with a two-storey a and g, sturdy stems, and rounded bowls; terminals are mostly blunt with gentle bracketing rather than sharp cuts. Numerals include oldstyle figures that sit with the lowercase rhythm, reinforcing a bookish texture.
This font is well suited to book interiors, essays, and other extended reading where a steady serif texture and open counters support legibility. It also works for editorial layouts—headlines, subheads, and pull quotes—where a traditional, confident voice is needed.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, evoking traditional print typography. Its weight and calm rhythm feel authoritative without becoming ornate, giving it a serious, editorial character suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes clarity and a familiar literary tone. Its sturdy construction, moderate contrast, and oldstyle numerals suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph setting with enough presence for headings.
Spacing appears comfortable and even, producing a stable gray value in paragraphs. Capitals are strong and slightly wide, and the serif treatment stays consistent across straight and curved forms, helping the design feel cohesive in both display lines and continuous text.
