A conventional serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic stress, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the texture even in continuous text. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters and restrained details; capitals are steady and dignified, while the lowercase maintains a smooth rhythm with modest ascenders and descenders. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), blending naturally with lowercase in running copy.
Well suited for body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture supports long reading. It also fits academic and institutional materials, reports, and other typographic systems that need a familiar, dependable serif with a refined finish.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting authority without feeling ornate. Its softened serifs and moderate contrast give it a calm, editorial voice suited to long-form reading while still feeling polished and traditional.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: conservative in construction, optimized for steady paragraph color, and equipped with details (like oldstyle numerals) that integrate smoothly into continuous reading settings.
The design favors continuity and color on the page over sharp, high-contrast sparkle. Curves and serifs are consistently rounded and bracketed, producing a comfortable, familiar texture that holds together well across mixed-case text and punctuation.
