A crisp text serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a balanced, moderately modulated stroke. Curves are smooth and open, with compact terminals that stay sharp rather than bulbous. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are stately and evenly set, while the lowercase shows a steady rhythm with relatively narrow forms and clear counters. Numerals include oldstyle figures with ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a book-oriented texture in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It can also serve in academic or institutional materials, as well as display-sized titling when a restrained, classic look is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suited to contexts that benefit from a composed, literary voice. It reads as formal without being ornate, projecting clarity, seriousness, and editorial restraint.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while retaining refined, traditional detailing in its serifs, terminals, and numerals.
The letterforms show careful serif transitions and consistent finishing details, giving lines of text an even color and a tidy baseline. The ampersand is conventional and text-like, and the punctuation blends unobtrusively with the surrounding rhythm.
