A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms have generous proportions with open counters and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, while terminals often finish with small, angled feet that keep the texture lively. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with clear ascenders/descenders; the roman forms feel sturdy rather than delicate, and the numerals include oldstyle figures that sit with the text.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where consistent paragraph texture and familiar serif forms support readability. It also fits institutional communications and long-form print pieces that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The font conveys a classic, book-oriented tone that feels established and trustworthy. Its restrained contrast and traditional detailing suggest editorial seriousness and a calm, studied voice rather than a decorative or trendy one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes clarity and a familiar reading experience. Its classic serif construction and oldstyle numerals point toward comfortable setting in continuous text and literary or scholarly contexts.
Details such as the angled crossbar on the “e,” the traditional two-storey “g,” and the oldstyle numerals contribute to an unmistakably text-centric personality. Spacing appears comfortable, producing an even color in paragraphs and supporting longer reading.
