This is a conventional serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms are upright with relatively open counters and a steady, bookish rhythm. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with clear wedge-like finishing on strokes (notably in E, F, T, and W). Lowercase shows a mild calligraphic influence in the curved joins and terminals, including a double-storey a and g, a compact, readable e, and an f with a pronounced descender. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and descending forms, matching the text color and cadence of the lowercase.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and stable texture are desired. It also works for formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional documents that benefit from a classic, print-oriented presence.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking traditional print typography. It reads as authoritative and literary rather than decorative, with a subtle warmth from the softly bracketed serifs and slightly calligraphic terminals.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif with a traditional construction and a restrained touch of calligraphic finishing. Its forms prioritize readability and an even typographic color while preserving a familiar, literary character.
In paragraph setting the font builds an even texture with clear word shapes, aided by open bowls and balanced sidebearings. Curved letters (C, S, O, Q) maintain smooth, consistent modulation, while the diagonal structures (V, W, X, Y) keep crisp edges without becoming sharp or brittle.
