A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a gently modulated stroke that stays even and steady across the alphabet. Capitals are proportioned with traditional Roman structure—open counters, clear joins, and strong verticals—while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies with a diagonal stress, rounded bowls, and a two-storey “g.” Serifs are crisp but not sharp, with smooth transitions into stems that create a comfortable, continuous text rhythm. Figures appear lining and fairly restrained, matching the letterforms without drawing undue attention.
Well-suited to books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an even, conventional serif texture is needed for sustained reading. It can also serve academic and institutional materials, as well as formal headings when set with generous leading and moderate tracking.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, conveying a calm, authoritative voice associated with established publishing and editorial design. It feels dignified rather than ornate, with enough warmth in the curves and bracketing to remain approachable in longer reading.
The font appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while retaining a classical, bookish character. Its restrained contrast and traditional serif treatment suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph composition and familiar letterforms.
The design maintains consistent spacing and color in paragraph settings, producing an even texture that supports continuous reading. Uppercase forms feel slightly stately, while the lowercase remains practical and legible, balancing formality with familiarity.
