A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and rounded terminals that soften the overall texture. Capitals are proportioned and steady, with clear vertical stress and slightly tapered joins; curves are full and controlled, as seen in the C, O, and G. Lowercase forms are readable and familiar, with a two-storey a, a compact ear on the g, and a slightly bulbous, ball-like terminal on the y. Numerals are lining and robust, with open counters and a traditional, bookish construction.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and other long-form editorial typography where a familiar serif voice and steady readability are needed. It also works for reports, academic text, and general-purpose print and digital reading contexts that benefit from a traditional, authoritative texture.
The face conveys a classic, literary tone—confident and established rather than trendy. Its rounded details and moderate contrast add warmth, while the overall structure stays formal and dependable, reminiscent of traditional print typography.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, moderate contrast, and softened serif detailing prioritize legibility and a conventional print voice over display eccentricities.
In paragraph settings the rhythm is even and the letterforms hold their shape at text sizes, producing a dark-but-not-heavy color. Serifs are present but not sharp, which helps reduce brittleness and supports continuous reading in longer passages.
