This is a conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and sturdy, fairly wide proportions. Curves are smooth and confident, with open counters and a steady horizontal rhythm that stays clear in paragraph settings. The lowercase shows a traditional text build with a double-storey a and g, compact terminals, and a relatively short, balanced ascender/descender relationship. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights with descenders), reinforcing a classic text flavor and a lively baseline texture.
It is well suited to body text in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where steady texture and comfortable readability are needed. It can also work for pull quotes, captions, and formal headings when a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, leaning toward classic print typography rather than display novelty. It communicates tradition and credibility, with a quiet elegance suited to long-form reading. The presence of oldstyle figures adds a slightly scholarly, literary feel.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional reading face: wide enough to feel open, contrasted enough to look refined, and conservative in detailing for consistent performance in paragraphs.
Serifs are not overly sharp and appear subtly bracketed, which softens joins and helps maintain even color in continuous text. Capitals have a restrained, stately presence and sit comfortably with the lowercase, making mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
