Proportions are moderately wide with slightly variable character widths, giving the setting an even, familiar texture. Lowercase forms are traditional and open, with a two-storey “g,” a compact “e,” and a gently bracketed, sturdy “n/m” structure; capitals are stately with restrained detailing and consistent cap height. The numerals include oldstyle figures with varying heights and descenders, reinforcing a text-centric feel.
