A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The capitals are broad and steady, with gently tapered terminals and smooth curves that keep counters open. Lowercase forms read as text-oriented rather than display: a two-storey a, compact e, and a restrained g with a round bowl and small ear. Numerals are lining and fairly wide, with clear, readable shapes and traditional proportions.
Well suited to book typography, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where an even text color and familiar serif structure support comfort and clarity. It can also serve academic and institutional materials, reports, and restrained headline settings that benefit from a traditional voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a calm, authoritative rhythm suited to editorial typography. Its moderate contrast and traditional detailing evoke printed books and institutional documents without feeling overly ornate.
The font appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a design aimed at producing stable paragraph texture and a timeless, print-rooted character.
The design balances firmness with soft transitions at joins and serifs, producing an even texture in paragraphs. Spacing and proportions appear comfortable for running text, while the capitals retain enough presence for headings and titling.
