A conventional serif with moderate stroke modulation and a steady, book-text rhythm. Serifs are clearly bracketed with gently flared, wedge-like terminals that soften joins and give the letterforms a slightly calligraphic finish without becoming decorative. Capitals are proportioned and calm, with rounded curves on C/O/Q and a balanced, legible structure across the set; the Q uses a distinctive, sweeping tail. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with rounded bowls, a two-storey a, open counters, and a g with a rounded lower loop; terminals tend to finish with subtle beaks or softened wedges. Numerals are lining and straightforward, matching the serif treatment and contrast of the letters.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and steady texture are desirable. It can also serve effectively in reports, academic materials, and other document-centric design that benefits from a classic, credible tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking editorial typography and familiar print conventions. Its measured contrast and softened serifs read as formal but approachable, lending a quiet authority suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, controlled contrast, and bracketed serifs prioritize readability while retaining a distinctly literary character.
In text, the face maintains consistent color and spacing, with clear word shapes and stable baselines. The design leans toward a transitional/oldstyle feel through its bracketing and gently tapered strokes, while keeping a restrained, contemporary regularity.
