A restrained serif with gently bracketed serifs and softly tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, modest stroke modulation, and a smooth, continuous rhythm rather than rigid vertical stress. Capitals are clean and spacious, with a broad, open C/G and a Q that carries a simple, downward tail. Lowercase features a two-storey a, a looping g with a rounded ear, and a compact t with a small crossbar; overall spacing reads even and unforced, supporting steady text color.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where an even rhythm and clear word shapes are important. It can also serve for reports, essays, and other formal documents that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The tone is classical and bookish, leaning toward quiet refinement rather than display drama. Its softened joins and modest detailing give it a composed, editorial feel that suits traditional, trustworthy communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances heritage forms with unobtrusive clarity. Its controlled detailing and measured proportions suggest a focus on comfortable readability and a dependable, familiar typographic presence.
Numerals appear lining and proportional, with a slender 1, open-curved 2, and a rounded 3; the 0 is oval and clear. The design keeps terminals and serifs consistent across sizes, helping long lines remain smooth without looking mechanical.
