A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady text rhythm. The capitals are broad and restrained with crisp terminals and gently tapered joins, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a noticeably short x-height. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with open, readable counters and clear differentiation between rounded and straight strokes. Numerals follow the same text-oriented logic, mixing sturdy verticals with softly modeled curves for a cohesive, bookish texture.
Well suited to book typography, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It also fits academic or institutional materials and formal communications such as programs and invitations, especially when set with comfortable spacing and leading.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting seriousness and polish without feeling ornamental. It conveys an editorial, institutional voice—measured, trustworthy, and quietly traditional.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and a classic typographic tone. Its proportions and controlled contrast aim to deliver a refined page texture appropriate for sustained reading and formal publishing contexts.
In text, the font produces a calm, even gray value with enough contrast to add refinement while remaining comfortable for extended reading. The short x-height gives it a more traditional color and benefits from slightly generous leading at smaller sizes.
