A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even color on the page. The capitals are crisp and slightly compact, with wedge-like terminals and a traditional roman construction. Lowercase forms show oldstyle tendencies, including a two-storey “g,” a modestly angled “e” crossbar, and softly tapered joins that keep counters open at text sizes. Numerals follow an oldstyle rhythm with varied heights and curved strokes, matching the text face’s organic movement.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice supports comprehension. It also fits institutional and academic materials—reports, journals, and programs—where a traditional, authoritative texture is desirable.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking editorial tradition and book typography. It feels composed and trustworthy rather than flashy, with a quiet elegance that reads as formal and established.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose reading serif: traditional letterforms, measured contrast, and restrained detailing aimed at dependable performance in paragraphs. Its oldstyle-leaning lowercase and classic capitals suggest a focus on timelessness and typographic convention over novelty.
Curves and joins are smoothly transitioned, giving the face a subtly calligraphic undercurrent without becoming decorative. The rhythm in running text is calm and predictable, with clear word shapes and conservative detailing.
