A conventional serif with gently bracketed, slightly flared serifs and softly tapered stroke endings. The forms show moderate modulation with rounded joins and an overall smooth, book-text rhythm rather than crisp, high-contrast sharpness. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase features a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and subtly calligraphic terminals that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same understated modulation, reading cleanly without overt display quirks.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where steady rhythm and familiar proportions help maintain comfort. It can also serve in academic and institutional materials, as well as refined print collateral that benefits from a classic serif voice.
The tone is traditional and literary, suggesting established print culture and editorial polish. It feels calm and composed, with a hint of old-world refinement that suits serious, content-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and a balanced page texture, while incorporating subtle calligraphic shaping to avoid a mechanical feel.
Curves are generous and well-rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), giving the face a smooth color on the line. Details like the Q tail and the angled joins in letters such as k and v add a mildly calligraphic character without becoming decorative.
