A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a slightly oldstyle flavor. Curves show a soft diagonal stress, with open, rounded counters and moderate apertures that keep the texture readable. Capitals are stately and proportioned for text, while lowercase forms are compact and steady, with a two-storey “a” and “g” and restrained, neatly finished terminals. Numerals sit comfortably with the letters, leaning toward lining proportions and maintaining an even, book-like rhythm across the set.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, articles, reports, and other editorial layouts where a stable rhythm and clear word shapes matter. It can also serve headings and captions when a classic serif voice is desired, especially in print-like or document-oriented designs.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking familiar book typography and editorial settings. It feels trustworthy and formal without becoming ornate, with a quiet, academic character that supports long-form reading.
The letterforms suggest an intention to provide a familiar, dependable text serif with traditional proportions and modest contrast, aimed at comfortable reading and straightforward typographic hierarchy rather than expressive display effects.
Spacing and letterfit appear balanced, creating an even gray value in paragraphs. The design favors clarity over display drama, with crisp serifs and controlled stroke endings that add definition at text sizes.
