A traditional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and gently modulated strokes that keep the page color even. The proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and a steady baseline rhythm. Terminals are generally crisp and slightly flared, and the numerals align comfortably with the letterforms, maintaining a consistent, conventional texture in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also support institutional materials such as reports and program notes, and it works for restrained branding and headlines when a classic, typographic tone is needed.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a measured, academic restraint rather than overt stylization. Its crisp detailing and controlled contrast suggest a formal, editorial voice that reads as established and trustworthy.
Designed to provide a dependable, conventional serif voice for continuous text, prioritizing readability and an even typographic color while retaining enough refinement for high-quality editorial and print settings.
The capitals show a reserved presence with clear, familiar silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains legibility through open shapes and uncomplicated joins. The punctuation and figures integrate cleanly, reinforcing a coherent, text-first design.
