A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and moderated contrast, showing softly tapered strokes and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. The capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, with traditional detailing in letters like R and G and a slightly calligraphic feel in the curves. Lowercase forms read clearly with open counters and rounded joins; the double-storey a and g and the compact, straight-backed n/m reinforce a familiar text face structure. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with ascenders and descenders, adding a more editorial, flowing texture in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and familiar letterforms help sustain comfort. It can also serve well in reports, academic material, and other formal documents, with oldstyle numerals contributing a refined texture in mixed text-and-number contexts.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a quietly authoritative presence typical of literary and institutional typography. Its restrained detailing and warm stroke transitions feel established rather than trendy, lending an academic, reference-like voice to paragraphs and headings alike.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a classic page color. Its traditional construction and restrained contrast suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph typography with a subtle, editorial character.
Spacing and sidebearings look balanced for continuous reading, and punctuation and dots appear solid and round, supporting legibility at text sizes. The serif treatment stays consistent across straight and curved strokes, creating a cohesive, predictable texture in multi-line settings.
