A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes that feel drawn rather than purely geometric. The capitals are broad and steady with open counters and clean joins, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—most notably a two-storey “g” and a “y” with a descending tail—supporting a smooth reading rhythm. Curves are generous and slightly oval, terminals are mostly serifed rather than blunt, and spacing appears even, producing a calm texture in continuous text. Figures align with the text color and maintain clear shapes, with round forms kept open and legible.
Well-suited to body text in books, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional documents where a familiar serif voice supports readability. It can also serve for headings and subheads in print or web typography when a classic, trustworthy tone is desired without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a literary, editorial sensibility. It reads as dependable and cultivated—more “book page” than “display stunt”—and carries a subtle warmth that keeps it from feeling austere.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, restrained modulation, and conservative detailing combine to deliver a stable reading texture and a timeless typographic voice.
In paragraph settings the font forms a consistent, moderately dark text color with clear internal spaces, suggesting strong performance for long-form reading. The design avoids dramatic quirks, relying instead on balanced proportions, restrained contrast, and well-shaped serifs for clarity.
