A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a moderate, subtly calligraphic contrast. The letterforms keep an upright posture with fairly narrow proportions and a steady, even rhythm in text. Capitals are crisp and slightly tapered with pointed apexes (notably in A, V, W), while rounded forms (C, O, Q) show smooth curves and open counters. The lowercase is compact with a traditional two-storey a and g, short-to-moderate extenders, and clean, angled terminals; the overall texture stays consistent and readable. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and alignments, reinforcing a bookish, text-oriented character.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, magazines, and academic or institutional documents where a familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also serve for understated headings, pull quotes, and captions when a traditional, literary voice is needed.
The face conveys a classic, editorial tone—measured and composed rather than loud or decorative. Its sharp serifs and restrained contrast lend a sense of tradition and authority, suitable for sober, well-crafted typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar typographic tone. Details like bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and oldstyle numerals suggest an emphasis on comfortable continuous reading and editorial versatility.
In running text the spacing feels balanced and slightly tight, producing a tidy, economical color. The ampersand and punctuation match the same restrained, traditional vocabulary, while the pointed diagonals in V/W/Y add a hint of crispness to headings without breaking the overall conservatism.
