A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a gently calligraphic rhythm. The capitals are broad and steady, with softened joins and slightly tapered terminals that keep the texture even in dense settings. Lowercase forms show a two-storey “a” and “g”, open apertures, and rounded bowls that maintain clarity without feeling mechanical. Numerals appear oldstyle with ascenders and descenders, contributing to a flowing, text-oriented color.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where an even texture and conventional letterforms aid comfort and comprehension. It also fits academic and institutional material—reports, essays, and documentation—where a traditional serif voice reinforces authority and stability.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suited to material that wants to feel established and credible. Its familiar shapes and calm rhythm suggest editorial seriousness rather than display eccentricity, while still retaining a warm, humanist undercurrent.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar in structure, comfortable in continuous reading, and conservative enough to integrate into many editorial systems without drawing attention to itself.
The face keeps a consistent, restrained serif treatment across letters, avoiding sharp spikes or slabby mass. Counters are comfortably open and spacing reads balanced in the sample paragraphs, supporting an even typographic “gray” at text sizes.
