A traditional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and gently modulated stroke weight. The drawing favors clear, open counters and a steady baseline rhythm, with capitals that feel stately and proportioned for text rather than display. Curves are smooth and measured, terminals are crisp, and joins show a subtle calligraphic influence without becoming decorative. Numerals and punctuation sit comfortably alongside the letters, maintaining an even color on the page.
Well-suited to long-form text such as books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and open counters support comfortable reading. It also fits reports, academic materials, and other formal documents that benefit from a conventional, established serif appearance.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying authority and restraint. It reads as formal and literary—suited to contexts where a familiar, trustworthy serif voice is desired rather than something overtly stylized.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, measured contrast, and restrained detailing aimed at producing a consistent, readable texture in paragraphs while retaining a dignified tone in headings and titling.
Spacing and shapes support continuous reading, with a composed texture in paragraphs and distinctive, conventional letterforms (notably in the two-storey forms and the reserved, traditional capitals). The italic is not shown, and the style presented prioritizes clarity and continuity over dramatic contrast or sharp, modern detailing.
