A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, sturdy stems, and moderate stroke modulation. The forms are generously proportioned with a slightly expanded set width and open counters, giving the alphabet a calm, steady rhythm. Details lean oldstyle in feel: rounded joins, softly modeled terminals, and a gently calligraphic stress, while capitals remain authoritative and well-balanced. Numerals and punctuation match the text tone with solid, readable shapes and clear differentiation.
It is well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and journal-style layouts, as well as editorial design where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support formal documents and report typography that benefits from clear, conventional letterforms.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking editorial credibility and a composed, academic voice. It feels confident without being flashy, suited to settings where familiarity and trust are important.
The design appears intended as a dependable general-purpose text serif, prioritizing readability and a familiar typographic color while retaining subtle, traditional detailing in the serifs and terminals.
The face maintains a consistent serif treatment across cases, with sturdy lowercase structures that read clearly in continuous text. Curves are smooth and full, and the spacing in the sample paragraph suggests a comfortable texture for paragraph work rather than a tightly packed, high-contrast display look.
