A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The letters show open, rounded counters and carefully controlled joins, with crisp top serifs and clean, slightly flared terminals. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively wide, while lowercase maintains even color and clear differentiation between similar shapes; the two-storey a and g reinforce a traditional text tone. Numerals appear oldstyle with ascenders and descenders, blending naturally into running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and journal text, where its steady rhythm and clear counters support sustained legibility. It also fits editorial design, reports, and institutional materials that benefit from a conservative, trustworthy typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority without feeling ornate. It reads as composed and editorial, suitable for contexts that want tradition and credibility rather than display eccentricity.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, clear differentiation, and a restrained contrast profile that supports continuous reading and formal communication.
Curves and diagonals are handled with a restrained, traditional serif logic, giving a familiar page texture at text sizes. The ampersand follows a conventional, sturdy form that matches the no-nonsense character of the alphabet.
