This serif shows crisp, bracketed serifs and a moderately calligraphic stress that gives strokes a gentle, traditional modulation without feeling high-contrast. Capitals are tall and evenly proportioned with restrained flare and clean join behavior, while round letters keep open, smooth counters and a steady rhythm. Lowercase forms read as conventional and bookish, with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e” with a small eye, and a “g” that leans toward a double-storey construction. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), blending naturally with lowercase texture rather than sitting on a uniform lining height.
It is well suited to book interiors, essays, and other longform text where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also fits editorial layouts, academic materials, and formal documents that benefit from a conservative, established typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking editorial and literary typography rather than display theatrics. It feels composed and trustworthy, with a quiet refinement suited to serious or institutional communication.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, highly readable text serif with classical proportions and understated detailing. Its oldstyle figures and moderate stroke modulation suggest a focus on blending smoothly into paragraphs and producing an even, book-like color on the page.
Spacing and sidebearings appear balanced for continuous reading, and the shapes avoid extreme quirks, emphasizing consistency across the alphabet. The ampersand follows a classic, text-oriented form that matches the restrained detailing of the rest of the set.
