A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, readable rhythm. The letterforms show broad, slightly tapered stems with softly curved joins and sturdy, well-supported serifs rather than razor-thin hairlines. Counters are open and proportions feel balanced, with a slightly calligraphic influence visible in the curved strokes and terminals. The lowercase has a traditional build with a two-storey a and g, and the figures appear oldstyle with varying heights and prominent curves.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It should also work comfortably for formal communications, reports, and headings that benefit from a conservative, established voice without requiring display-level eccentricity.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting credibility and composure. It feels familiar in the way of established book and editorial faces, with enough warmth in the curves to avoid looking clinical.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar forms, steady spacing, and restrained contrast prioritize readability and typographic neutrality. The oldstyle-like numerals and traditional lowercase construction reinforce an editorial and book-oriented brief.
Capitals are robust and even, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a consistent serif treatment across the set. Curved letters (C, G, S) and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) maintain an even color without becoming spiky, helping the font stay calm and legible in longer settings.
