A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and sturdy, well-supported verticals. The letterforms balance crisp wedge-like terminals with softly cupped joins, creating a steady text rhythm and clear word shapes. Counters are generously open (notably in C, e, and a), while capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to extended text in books, editorial layouts, and academic or institutional documents where a familiar, comfortable serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headlines and subheads when a classic, print-oriented tone is needed without excessive contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and dependable. Its measured contrast and familiar proportions give it a restrained, institutional character suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif: legible at paragraph sizes, steady in rhythm, and authoritative in tone, with just enough modulation and crisp terminals to retain a traditional print sensibility.
The font shows a clear hierarchy between capitals and lowercase, with prominent, slightly calligraphic entry/exit strokes on forms like a, f, r, and t. The Q has a pronounced tail, and the W/V/X show sharp, clean intersections that keep headings crisp without feeling decorative.
