A conventional serif design with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, even rhythm. The capitals are stately with wide, open counters and restrained details, while the lowercase shows a readable, text-oriented structure with compact joins and clear apertures. Curves are smoothly drawn and terminals remain understated rather than calligraphic, giving the face a composed, print-like finish. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a gently sloped stress that matches the text color in running settings.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability is important. It also fits reports, academic documents, and other formal communication that benefits from a familiar, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting reliability and formality without feeling ornate. It carries a quiet, bookish confidence suited to long-form reading and institutional communication.
The letterforms appear intended as a dependable general-purpose text serif: conventional proportions, moderate contrast, and carefully bracketed serifs aimed at producing an even, comfortable reading color in continuous text.
The design maintains consistent proportions across the alphabet, with solid spacing and a balanced texture in paragraphs. The italic is not shown, and the roman style emphasizes clarity over display flair.
