A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, gently tapered strokes, and moderate contrast that reads as calm and controlled. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress, with rounded bowls and open counters that keep the texture breathable in text. Capitals are proportioned with a dignified, slightly narrow rhythm, while lowercase forms maintain clear differentiation and a steady baseline. Numerals appear oldstyle with ascenders and descenders, blending smoothly into running text rather than standing as rigid lining figures.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and academic or institutional documents where sustained readability and a familiar serif voice are desired. It also works for headings and pull quotes when a classic, authoritative tone is needed without heavy display styling.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting credibility and restraint rather than display flamboyance. Its measured contrast and familiar shapes suggest editorial seriousness, with a quiet elegance suited to long-form reading.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif focused on comfortable continuous reading, with oldstyle proportions and numerals intended to integrate naturally into paragraphs. The restrained contrast and bracketed serifs prioritize clarity and an even typographic color across longer passages.
Uppercase forms present clean, conventional construction (notably the wide, open C and the balanced O), while the italic-free upright stance keeps the page color even. The two-storey a and g and the curved, slightly calligraphic joins in letters like n and m reinforce a traditional text-face feel without appearing overly ornate.
