A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The proportions are balanced with moderate cap height and a fairly even color on the page. Serifs are tapered and smoothly joined, avoiding the blocky feel of slabs. Lowercase forms read traditionally, with rounded bowls and slightly calligraphic joins; the italic is not shown and the roman maintains a calm, upright stance. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a flowing, text-friendly alignment that blends naturally into running copy.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits academic or institutional documents, reports, and print materials that benefit from a traditional, credible voice. The oldstyle numerals make it especially appropriate for body text with frequent dates or references.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking established print typography rather than display experimentation. It feels measured and trustworthy, with a formal, editorial character suited to reading-focused settings. The oldstyle numerals add a traditional, cultivated flavor.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes legibility and a composed page color, drawing on classical proportions and bracketed serif construction. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals reinforces its orientation toward continuous reading and editorial typography rather than overt display styling.
In the grid, strokes stay consistent across uppercase and lowercase, and curves remain smooth without sharp, angular stress. The uppercase has a dignified presence without becoming heavy, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and restrained detailing.
