This typeface is a conventional serif with bracketed serifs and a moderately modulated stroke, giving it a steady, bookish rhythm. The letterforms show oldstyle tendencies: rounded joins, slightly tapered terminals, and soft transitions between thick and thin strokes. Counters are open and proportions are compact, with capitals that feel sturdy and lowercase forms that keep a measured, even color in text. Numerals align comfortably with the text style, matching the serifed structure and restrained contrast.
Well-suited to body copy in books, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a familiar serif voice aids readability. It also works effectively for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, established tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a distinctly literary, academic character. It reads as serious and familiar rather than stylized, projecting credibility and calm authority in continuous reading.
The design appears intended as a versatile, all-purpose text serif: conservative in structure, comfortable in continuous reading, and optimized for a consistent page color across paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
Details like the two-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’, the rounded ‘e’ with a small eye, and the firm, serifed caps contribute to a classic text-face impression. Spacing appears balanced for paragraph work, supporting an even typographic texture without calling attention to individual forms.
