A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a gently calligraphic stroke logic. Stems show subtle tapering and moderate modulation, with crisp, slightly angular joins that keep counters clear in text. The lowercase features a two-storey “g” and a fairly compact rhythm, while capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, giving the design a composed, bookish texture. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a flowing baseline that blends naturally into running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and clear counters aid comfortable scanning. It also fits academic and institutional materials, especially when oldstyle numerals are desirable for integrated text settings.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a restrained, authoritative presence. Its traditional serif shapes and oldstyle figures suggest editorial seriousness and a quietly historic character rather than a modernist or decorative mood.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established typographic voice. Its measured contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle figures aim to produce a stable, classic page color for continuous reading.
Several letters show pointed or beak-like terminals (notably on forms such as C/G/S), adding a touch of sharpness to an otherwise familiar text-seriffed silhouette. The boldness distribution remains even across the set, supporting consistent color in paragraphs.
