This serif presents sturdy, bracketed serifs and a measured, medium-contrast stroke structure. Curves are full and smooth with relatively open counters, while terminals and joins stay crisp and controlled rather than calligraphic. Proportions lean generously wide, giving capitals a stately footprint and making round letters feel broad and stable. The lowercase maintains a conventional book-face rhythm, with clear differentiation in forms (notably the two-storey a and g) and a solid, evenly paced texture in paragraph setting.
It is well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and report or academic text where a stable, traditional serif voice is expected. The wide set and sturdy serifs also work effectively for headings, pull quotes, and other display uses that benefit from a dignified presence.
Overall, the tone is traditional and composed, with a confident, institutional feel. It reads as literary and editorial—serious without becoming overly ornate—supporting long-form reading with a calm, familiar cadence.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: emphasizing readability, consistent rhythm, and a classic typographic voice that feels at home in print-oriented settings.
Numerals follow the same classic serif construction, with strong verticals and rounded bowls that match the text color. The ampersand is conventional and weighty, aligning with the font’s formal character and reinforcing its suitability for continuous text.
