A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and steady vertical stress. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with crisp terminals and clear, traditional serif shapes. The lowercase shows a compact, readable rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” open counters, and straightforward joins, producing an even texture in paragraph settings. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and extenders, reinforcing a text-oriented, editorial feel.
Well suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and strong readability are priorities. It also fits formal documents, reports, and academic materials, and can handle headings when a restrained, traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, institutional calm. It reads as traditional and dependable rather than expressive or trendy, projecting an authoritative voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: a conservative, highly legible structure with classic proportions, moderate contrast, and traditional detailing. The oldstyle numeral style suggests emphasis on continuous reading and typographic convention in editorial composition.
The letterforms favor clarity over display flair: curves are smooth and controlled, serifs are neither overly sharp nor heavy, and spacing appears measured for continuous text. The combination of moderate contrast and robust serifing keeps the face stable at common reading sizes while still feeling refined.
