This serif typeface has bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a moderate stroke modulation that feels drawn from broad-nib or pen-influenced construction. Curves are smooth and full, with open, rounded counters in letters like C, O, and e, and a steady, readable rhythm in running text. The capitals are proportioned with traditional elegance—wide bowls and carefully shaped joins—while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies, including a two-storey g, a compact, readable a, and slightly asymmetrical stress in round forms. Numerals are proportional and text-friendly, with clean, restrained terminals and consistent alignment across the set.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and an even typographic color are priorities. It can also support formal communications such as reports, programs, and institutional materials, and works effectively for headings when a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, projecting a bookish seriousness suited to long-form reading. It conveys a quiet authority—formal without being stiff—making it feel at home in editorial and institutional contexts. The subtle warmth in its curves keeps it personable rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif with traditional proportions and restrained detailing. Its emphasis is on steady paragraph color, familiar letterforms, and a timeless presence rather than overt stylistic display.
Spacing appears balanced for paragraph work, with clear differentiation between similarly shaped glyphs (for example I, J, and l) and sturdy punctuation that remains legible at text sizes. The italic is not shown, but the roman style maintains a consistent, conservative texture across mixed-case settings.
