A conventional serif with clear oldstyle influence, showing moderately bracketed serifs and noticeable stroke modulation. The capitals have steady proportions and crisp terminals, with a slightly calligraphic rhythm in curved forms. Lowercase letters read comfortably with a moderate x-height, open counters, and softly tapered joins; several letters show traditional shapes (notably a double-storey a and g). Numerals align with the text color and share the same contrast and serif treatment, producing a cohesive page texture.
Well-suited for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines and subheads that need a classic, authoritative tone while remaining readable.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an editorial formality that feels familiar and trustworthy. Its contrast and refined serif detailing lend a slightly literary, traditional voice without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a traditional, general-purpose text serif that balances familiar book typography cues with enough contrast and detail to feel polished in editorial settings.
In text, the face maintains a stable, even color with enough stroke contrast to feel refined at display sizes, while still presenting sturdy stems for paragraph use. The varied widths and subtly lively curves add a natural rhythm that helps long lines avoid looking mechanical.
