A restrained serif with bracketed serifs, gently tapered strokes, and moderate stroke modulation. The proportions feel open and comfortably spaced, with rounded bowls (notably in O/Q/C) and smooth curves that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Serifs are relatively fine and slightly flared, with a classic, bookish construction; terminals often finish with subtle hooks and soft shaping (especially visible in the lowercase a, c, e, and r). Numerals show oldstyle behavior with varying heights and a flowing rhythm, supporting a text-oriented color rather than a rigid, tabular feel.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features, where the consistent texture and open counters support comfortable flow. It also performs nicely for refined branding, invitations, and headlines that benefit from a traditional serif voice without looking heavy or ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward a literary, editorial voice. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with a gentle elegance rather than overt sharpness or display drama.
Likely drawn to deliver a conventional, highly readable text serif with a subtle classic character—balancing crisp serif detail and moderate contrast to maintain clarity at typical reading sizes while still feeling polished in larger settings.
Lowercase forms emphasize readability through clear counters and a steady baseline rhythm, while the italic-like inflections in some terminals add warmth without tipping into overt calligraphy. The uppercase has a dignified presence with ample internal space, making headings feel formal yet approachable.
