A traditional serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with smoothly modulated curves, giving counters a rounded, open feel without becoming heavy. Proportions are balanced and slightly calligraphic in flavor, with rounded joins and a steady baseline presence; the italics are not shown, and the roman maintains a composed, book-oriented texture in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same understated modulation and serif treatment, reading clearly alongside text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a consistent text color matters. It also fits reports, academic material, and any setting that benefits from a conventional serif voice with clear numerals and strong typographic neutrality.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting reliability and restraint rather than display. It conveys a scholarly, editorial sensibility—polished and formal, with a quiet warmth typical of book serifs.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: conservative in construction, comfortable in paragraphs, and versatile across headings and body copy without calling attention to itself.
Details such as the double-storey forms, the restrained terminals, and the measured spacing create a smooth paragraph color that stays legible at text sizes. Uppercase forms feel dignified and traditional, while lowercase shapes keep the texture even and unobtrusive in continuous reading.
