A classic text serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and bracketed serifs, showing a calligraphic, oldstyle influence. The capitals are stately and moderately wide, with sharp, tapered apexes (notably in A and W) and clean, confident serifs. Lowercase forms are round and readable with a two-storey a and g, a gently angled crossbar on e, and a distinctive f with a ball terminal; overall spacing feels even and bookish. Numerals align with the same contrast and serif treatment, combining sturdy verticals with smooth curves for a cohesive text color.
