A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a calm, even rhythm. The lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height with compact ascenders and a sturdy baseline presence, aiding legibility at text sizes. Counters are open and round in letters like c, e, and o, while terminals often finish with subtle, rounded shaping. The numerals appear oldstyle (ranging) with varied heights and gentle curves, matching the text-oriented proportions of the letterforms.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady reading texture matters. It also fits academic and institutional materials such as reports, journals, and programs, and can serve as a restrained serif for interface or document typography when a traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a measured, editorial voice. It feels authoritative without being ornate, projecting a familiar, established presence suited to long-form reading and institutional contexts.
The font appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar proportions. Its moderate detailing and oldstyle-style figures suggest a design aimed at continuous reading and conventional typography rather than display-driven personality.
The design keeps contrast moderate and avoids sharp, flashy detailing; serifs and joins are softly treated, which helps maintain smooth texture in paragraphs. Letter widths vary naturally, contributing to a comfortable, classical typographic color in running text.
