A balanced serif with moderate proportions, bracketed serifs, and a steady, even rhythm. Strokes stay largely uniform with gentle modulation, while terminals and serifs finish cleanly without slab heaviness. Capitals are stately and well-spaced with wide, open bowls (notably in C, O, Q), and the lower-case maintains clear, readable forms with two-storey a and g, a tidy ear on g, and a restrained, compact f. Numerals are straightforward and text-friendly, with clear shapes and consistent alignment that suit continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where consistent texture and familiar letterforms support comprehension. It also fits reports and formal documents that need a conventional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a quietly literary feel suited to established institutions and editorial settings. It reads as dependable and respectful rather than trendy, projecting clarity and measured sophistication.
The font appears designed as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality, offering a classic structure with enough refinement for professional publishing and institutional communication.
The design favors open interior space and stable horizontal stress, helping paragraphs stay airy at larger sizes while remaining orderly in dense text. Curves and joins are controlled and slightly crisp, giving the face a neat, polished texture on the page.
