A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and crisp, slightly tapered terminals. The letterforms show moderated stroke modulation with a classic, calligraphic stress, giving bowls and curves a gently sculpted feel rather than a purely geometric construction. Proportions are balanced with a steady cap height and a normal x-height, while spacing reads a touch compact, producing an even, bookish texture in paragraphs. Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging figures), blending smoothly with lowercase text color.
It performs well for long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif rhythm is desired. The moderated contrast and firm serifs also make it appropriate for academic or institutional documents, as well as headlines when a traditional tone is needed.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a composed, authoritative presence suited to established editorial and institutional voices. Its sharp, well-defined serifs add formality without becoming ornamental, keeping the impression disciplined and readable.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes consistent texture and comfortable reading while retaining crisp, well-articulated serif detailing. The use of oldstyle figures suggests an emphasis on seamless integration of numbers within continuous text.
Distinctive details include a two-storey “a” and “g,” a pointed “W,” and a “Q” with a pronounced tail, all reinforcing a classical serif character. The dot on “i/j” appears diamond-like, adding a subtle, crisp accent that remains consistent in running text.
