A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and an even, steady color in text. The letterforms show gently tapered strokes and slightly angled terminals that keep the shapes lively without becoming calligraphic. Capitals are broad and stable with crisp serifs and controlled joins, while lowercase forms are compact with open counters and a clear, readable rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle (text) figures, with varied heights and a slightly more handwritten flow that blends naturally into running text.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles, where a steady serif texture supports comfort and comprehension. It also fits formal communication—reports, academic materials, and institutional publishing—especially when a conventional, dependable typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone feels bookish and established, suggesting editorial seriousness and long-form readability. Its restrained detailing and familiar proportions convey trust and clarity, while the subtle liveliness in terminals keeps it from feeling overly rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for continuous reading, balancing familiar serif construction with enough stroke modulation and terminal shaping to keep pages engaging. Its inclusion of oldstyle figures reinforces a focus on traditional, text-forward typography.
In paragraph settings the font maintains consistent spacing and a calm cadence, with punctuation and dots reading clearly at size. The distinctive oldstyle numerals and slightly animated curves add a traditional, print-oriented character that supports dense text without looking dry.
