This is a conventional serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Capitals are balanced and fairly wide, with clear vertical stress in round forms and a clean, sharply cut finish at terminals. The lowercase shows open counters and compact joins, with a two-storey “g” and a slightly angled crossbar on “e,” contributing to a familiar text-face texture. Numerals include oldstyle figures that sit comfortably with the lowercase, reinforcing a traditional reading voice.
Well-suited to books, essays, and other long-form editorial typography where an even texture and familiar serif structure support comfortable reading. It also fits academic or institutional documents, reports, and magazine text that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy typographic voice.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a composed, authoritative presence suited to long-form reading. Its shapes read as established and dependable rather than expressive or experimental, giving it a quiet formality appropriate for editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif: readable, rhythmically even, and typographically familiar, with details like oldstyle numerals aimed at high-quality composition in continuous text.
The italic-like flourish on the “Q” tail and the oldstyle numerals add a traditional typographic flavor, while the relatively open apertures help maintain clarity at text sizes. Letterforms maintain consistent spacing and color, creating an even paragraph texture without calling attention to individual characters.
