A classic serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and gently tapered strokes that produce a calm, text-oriented rhythm. The contrast is moderate and the joins feel softly modeled, with subtle calligraphic influence rather than hard, geometric construction. Counters are comfortably open, terminals are rounded and occasionally wedge-like, and the overall color stays even across lines. The capitals read sturdy and conventional, while the lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” with small, crisp details that remain clear at paragraph sizes.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits academic and institutional materials—reports, programs, and formal communications—where a conventional, readable tone is desired. The oldstyle numerals make it particularly appropriate for prose-heavy pages that include dates and figures.
The face conveys a traditional, bookish tone—measured and dependable, with a refined seriousness suited to editorial contexts. Its restrained detailing and steady spacing suggest formality without stiffness, giving it an institutional and literary character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with subtle humanist modeling: prioritizing readability, steady paragraph color, and a familiar literary voice while retaining enough nuanced detail to feel crafted rather than purely utilitarian.
Numerals are oldstyle (with varying heights and descenders), reinforcing a classical text setting feel. The letterforms show small idiosyncrasies in terminals and serifs that add warmth, while maintaining consistent proportions and a stable baseline presence in running text.
