A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently tapered strokes. Contrast is moderate with an evident diagonal stress in round forms, giving the letters a traditional, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters, sturdy capitals, and a moderate x-height that keeps lowercase details clear. The numerals include oldstyle (text) figures that vary in height, reinforcing a page-oriented, book typography feel.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and other long-form reading where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits editorial layouts—magazines, reports, and institutional communications—where classic typography and dependable readability are priorities.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a calm, authoritative presence suited to serious reading. It feels familiar and established rather than trendy, projecting a composed, editorial voice.
The design intent appears to be a dependable, traditional text face that delivers a familiar serif rhythm and comfortable readability in paragraphs, while remaining formal enough for headings and editorial display at larger sizes.
Terminals are softly shaped rather than sharply cut, and the serifs connect with noticeable bracketing, producing a smooth flow along lines of text. Spacing appears even and conservative, supporting continuous reading and traditional typographic color.
