A classic serif with bracketed, slightly tapered serifs and moderate stroke contrast. The forms show a gently calligraphic modulation (notably in the round letters), with sturdy verticals and softened joins that keep texture even in paragraph settings. Uppercase proportions are balanced and conventional, while the lowercase features a double-storey “a” and “g,” open apertures, and compact, well-contained bowls. Numerals align with the text style, with clear, sturdy shapes and consistent weight distribution.
This design is well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where consistent rhythm and familiar serif structure improve comfort. It also works for academic and professional documents, reports, and formal communications that benefit from a conventional, credible typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting a calm, trustworthy presence. It feels suited to established institutions and print conventions, with a subtly literary character rather than a trendy or experimental voice.
The font appears intended as a dependable text serif that prioritizes readability and a stable page color while adding a restrained, traditional elegance through moderate contrast and carefully bracketed serifs.
Details like the ball terminal on the “f,” the rounded ear on the “g,” and the measured, bracketed serifs contribute to a warm, slightly oldstyle texture. Spacing appears comfortable and even, supporting continuous reading without looking loose or airy.
