A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, softly tapered terminals, and a measured contrast that stays comfortable in continuous reading. The proportions lean toward a smaller x-height with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, giving the lowercase an elegant, slightly airy vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and open (notably in rounded letters and the numerals), while joins show subtle calligraphic influence rather than rigid geometry. Spacing and widths feel naturally varied across letters, producing a lively, bookish texture in words and paragraphs.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable paragraph color are important. It can also support formal print materials—programs, reports, and institutional communications—especially when set with generous leading to complement the shorter x-height.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a distinctly literary feel suited to long-form reading. Its small x-height and gently modulated strokes suggest refinement and patience rather than punchiness, evoking printed editorial work and established institutions.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classical reading face: traditional serif construction, moderate modulation, and text-forward proportions aimed at producing a calm, authoritative texture over long passages.
Uppercase forms read stately and restrained, with clean, classical construction and modest serif emphasis. Lowercase details (such as the two-storey “g” and the gently cupped serifs on stems) reinforce an oldstyle sensibility, while the numerals appear balanced and text-friendly rather than overtly display-oriented.
