A refined serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a clean, even rhythm. Strokes are mostly smooth and slightly modulated, with round forms that stay open and well-balanced in the counters. Capitals feel stately and measured, while lowercase shows a readable, bookish texture with clear ascenders/descenders and a straightforward two-storey “g”. Numerals are lining and proportional, matching the text color without calling attention to themselves.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and an established serif voice are important. It also fits reports, academic materials, and other formal documents that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy texture.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking traditional publishing and institutional typography. It reads as polished and serious without becoming overly ornate, projecting a quiet authority suited to long-form reading.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes clarity, steady spacing, and a familiar typographic feel for continuous reading. The restrained detailing and balanced proportions suggest a focus on versatile, everyday editorial use rather than display-driven personality.
Curves are drawn with a restrained, calligraphic sensibility and terminals remain crisp rather than decorative. The design maintains a consistent color across mixed-case text, helping paragraphs look orderly and continuous.
