A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, noticeable stroke contrast, and a steady, upright stance. The capitals are proportioned and slightly compact with crisp terminals, while lowercase forms show a traditional, text-oriented construction with a two-storey “a” and “g” and an open, readable rhythm. Curves exhibit subtle calligraphic stress, joins are clean, and counters are generally generous, helping the type stay clear in continuous reading. Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging), with varied heights and a slightly more flowing, text-friendly texture than lining figures.
Well-suited to body text in books and long-form editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits academic and institutional materials, print-centric documents, and magazine typography that benefits from a familiar, composed voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, editorial feel that suggests tradition and authority rather than novelty. Its refined contrast and familiar book-serifs read as dependable and established.
The font appears designed as a general-purpose text serif: recognizable, readable, and balanced, aiming for a comfortable paragraph rhythm and a conventional, authoritative presence across headings and running text.
Spacing appears even and conservative, producing a smooth typographic color in paragraphs. The design favors clarity over flamboyance, with restrained details and consistent serif treatment across the set.
