The serifs read mostly square-ended with slight bracketing, giving joins a crisp but not overly mechanical feel. Proportions are moderately compact with generous counters and steady spacing, producing an even text color in paragraphs while keeping letterforms distinct. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and formal, and the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm suited to continuous reading.
