A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and an even, bookish rhythm. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with traditional Roman construction and moderate flare at stroke terminals. Lowercase forms read cleanly with rounded bowls and a steady baseline; the two-storey a and g reinforce a text-oriented, oldstyle-leaning feel. Numerals appear lining with straightforward, readable shapes and consistent spacing that supports continuous reading.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading contexts where a familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also support formal headings and subheads when you want a traditional, authoritative presence without heavy stylization.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority without feeling ornate. Its restrained contrast and familiar shapes suggest editorial reliability and a traditional, academic voice.
The design intent appears focused on dependable text setting: a traditional serif model with measured contrast, bracketed serifs, and proportions that prioritize clarity and an established, print-classic feel.
Counters stay fairly open in both upper- and lowercase, and the joins and curves are handled with smooth, conservative detailing. The serifs and terminals are not exaggerated, helping the face remain calm and legible in paragraph settings while still offering enough character for headings.
