A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, softly tapered terminals, and moderate stroke modulation that reads clearly in continuous text. The letterforms feel sturdy and slightly generous in set width, with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and serifs show gentle shaping rather than sharp, hairline details. Numerals and capitals carry a dignified, text-oriented construction, avoiding extreme contrast or delicate features.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, editorial layouts, and publication typography where a familiar serif voice supports comfortable scanning. It can also work for institutional materials—reports, programs, and formal communication—where a conventional, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that suggests established print culture. It conveys a measured, trustworthy voice—more scholarly than trendy—while still feeling approachable due to its rounded curves and warm serif treatment.
The design appears intended as a dependable, all-purpose text serif: comfortable for paragraphs, conservative in personality, and built around balanced proportions and consistent modulation rather than showy display traits. Its shaping suggests a focus on clarity and tradition, aiming to feel familiar across a wide range of printed and editorial contexts.
Lowercase details lean toward an oldstyle flavor, with a two-storey “g” and a gently modeled “a,” and a noticeably curved descender on “y.” The “Q” features a clear tail that stays integrated with the bowl, and the numerals show traditional forms with pronounced curves and distinctive terminals that remain legible at display sizes.
