A conventional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic construction: diagonals and curves transition smoothly, terminals are clean and gently flared, and counters are open without feeling wide. Uppercase proportions are balanced and restrained, while the lowercase keeps an even rhythm with clear joins and a tidy, compact texture. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a more text-oriented feel than lining figures.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits academic or institutional materials, front matter, and print-oriented typography that benefits from a classic, text-first voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, conveying seriousness and trust. Its moderate contrast and familiar proportions give it an editorial, bookish presence without feeling ornate or decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: familiar shapes, moderate contrast, and careful serif transitions aimed at producing a cohesive paragraph color and an authoritative, timeless impression.
Curves are drawn with an elegant, continuous sweep (notably in C/G/S and the round letters), while stems remain firm and upright. The ampersand has a classic, looped construction that fits comfortably with the text forms.
