A conventional serif text face with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even color in paragraph settings. Capitals are proportioned with restrained contrast and crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows softly modeled joins and subtly calligraphic shaping. Counters are open and well-defined, with rounded bowls and a gentle diagonal stress that keeps long text comfortable. Figures align with the text style and share the same restrained modulation and serif treatment, maintaining a cohesive rhythm across mixed content.

The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking the feel of established book typography and traditional editorial design. Its measured contrast and familiar proportions read as trustworthy and formal without becoming ornate, giving text a composed, professional voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for sustained text: balanced, familiar letterforms with moderate modulation and bracketed serifs to provide readability and typographic authority in print-like layouts.

It maintains clarity at text sizes and remains dignified when enlarged for headings.
