A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a calm, even typographic color. The capitals are broad and steady, with clear wedge-like terminals and classic proportions; round letters show smooth, slightly oval bowls. Lowercase forms are sturdy and readable, with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a single-storey “g” with a rounded ear; the “t” has a short crossbar and the “f” rises with a modest hook. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varied heights and pronounced curves that harmonize with the lowercase rhythm.
Well-suited to book typography, magazines, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a familiar serif texture are important. It should also work effectively for reports, essays, and institutional communications, and can serve for headings when a classic, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, leaning toward literary and academic contexts rather than display flash. Its measured contrast and bracketed details suggest a dependable, established voice suited to longer reading and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a versatile text serif that prioritizes readability and a classic, established aesthetic. Its oldstyle numerals and restrained modulation point toward continuous text and editorial systems that need a traditional, trustworthy voice.
Spacing and letterfit read as comfortable at paragraph sizes, with slightly generous widths that help keep counters open and lines airy. Curved joins and bracket transitions soften the texture, while terminals remain crisp enough for sharp headings and pull quotes.
