A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a gently calligraphic modulation. Curves show a slight diagonal stress, and the overall drawing favors smooth, rounded bowls with crisp but not razor-sharp joins. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while lowercase forms are moderately compact with clear counters and a readable rhythm. Serifs are present throughout without becoming heavy, giving the face a measured, text-oriented color in running lines.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, essays, and other long-form reading where steady rhythm and familiar serif structure help maintain comfort. It also performs nicely for chapter titles, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural communications that benefit from a traditional voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with an understated elegance. Its restrained contrast and familiar proportions suggest seriousness and trust, suited to long-form reading while still feeling polished for display-sized headings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif with a touch of classical refinement. Its balanced proportions and moderated detailing prioritize clarity and continuous reading while retaining enough character for editorial presentation.
Figures appear lining with clear differentiation (notably open forms in 2, 3, 5, and 9), and the Q uses a distinctive, gently sweeping tail. Lowercase details such as the ear on g and the tapered, slightly flared terminals add a subtle hand-influenced character without looking decorative.
