A conventional serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that soften joins and corners. The letterforms show sturdy vertical stems, generously rounded bowls, and open internal counters, giving the texture a steady, even rhythm in paragraphs. Capitals are broad and stable with clear horizontal terminals, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure—double-storey a, compact ear on g, and a slightly angled crossbar feel across e and f—supporting comfortable text color. Numerals are lining and proportionally varied, with clear differentiation and solid weight distribution.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits formal documents, institutional communications, and report typography that benefits from a conservative, highly legible voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority without feeling ornamental. It reads as measured and dependable, with a familiar literary voice suited to serious, information-forward settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar typographic cadence. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on robust performance in paragraphs rather than display-driven character.
Spacing appears moderately generous for a serif, helping maintain clarity at text sizes. The shapes avoid extreme quirks, emphasizing consistency and legibility across mixed-case copy and numerals.
