A classic serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and smooth modulation that stays even and unforced across the alphabet. The proportions feel balanced and book-oriented, with moderate cap height, a comfortable x-height, and open counters that keep the texture readable in paragraph settings. Curves are round and slightly humanist in construction, while verticals remain steady; terminals are clean with subtle shaping rather than sharp, calligraphic extremes. The lowercase shows traditional details such as a two-storey a and g, and the numerals read as oldstyle figures with noticeable ascenders and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
This design is well suited to body copy in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture and comfortable spacing are important. It can also serve effectively in academic or corporate documents, and as a complementary serif for headings when paired with a simpler sans in multi-font systems.
The overall tone is editorial and quietly elegant, projecting a sense of tradition and credibility without becoming ornate. It feels suited to long-form reading, with a measured rhythm that suggests publishing, scholarship, and formal communication.
The font appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional in its letterforms, moderate in contrast, and optimized for sustained reading with a calm, even page color.
The face maintains a consistent, classical rhythm in both the grid and paragraph sample, with well-contained stroke endings and restrained serif presence that supports legibility. Letters like Q and g show conservative, familiar forms, reinforcing a conventional text-seriffed voice.
