A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Curves are smoothly modeled with slightly tapered joins, while verticals stay firm and even, producing a calm, balanced color in text. Uppercase forms feel measured and classical, with open counters and restrained flare at terminals. Lowercase shows an oldstyle leaning structure with a two-storey “a” and “g”, a compact “e” with a moderate aperture, and sturdy, slightly cupped serifs that help lines hold together at reading sizes. Numerals are lining and proportionally sturdy, matching the text weight and spacing without calling attention to themselves.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and conventional proportions are priorities. It also works for formal headings, pull quotes, and front matter when a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a reserved formality that reads as established and trustworthy. It evokes familiar book and newspaper typography rather than display experimentation, conveying clarity, seriousness, and a mild sense of heritage.
The typeface appears designed as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar letterforms, moderate contrast, and bracketed serifs combine to prioritize readability and a traditional editorial character over stylistic novelty.
The design keeps details conservative: serifs are neither hairline-sharp nor slabby, and terminals stay clean without pronounced ball or wedge effects. Spacing appears comfortable in continuous text, supporting even texture and predictable word shapes.
