A crisp serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and restrained stroke modulation. The proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with moderate counters and a steady rhythm across lines. Terminals are clean and slightly calligraphic without becoming decorative, and the overall drawing stays consistent between capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, articles, and editorial layouts where an even grayscale and conventional letterforms support comfortable comprehension. It also fits academic and business documents, including tables and figure-heavy pages, where its neat numerals and steady rhythm help maintain order.
The tone is traditional and composed, with a quietly authoritative, bookish character. It reads as familiar and dependable, suited to contexts that benefit from a sense of heritage and clarity rather than overt personality.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional serif for continuous text: prioritizing readability, stable rhythm, and familiar forms that integrate smoothly into editorial and document typography.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains an even texture that supports long passages. Numerals appear lining and align neatly with the cap height, contributing to a tidy, editorial feel in mixed text and number settings.
