A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Capitals are well-proportioned and fairly broad, with a crisp, upright stance and clean terminals. The lowercase shows a balanced x-height with sturdy stems and rounded bowls, producing an even texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same restrained, traditional model, with clear forms and consistent weight distribution.
Well-suited to body copy in books, essays, and other long-form editorial contexts where a familiar serif texture supports sustained reading. It also works for academic and institutional materials, reports, and magazine typography that benefits from a classic, conventional voice.
The overall tone is traditional and trustworthy, with a distinctly literary and editorial feel. It reads as measured and formal rather than decorative, suggesting authority and clarity suited to long-form reading.
Designed to provide a dependable, traditional reading experience with clear letterforms and a calm typographic color. The emphasis appears to be on versatility and legibility for mainstream text setting rather than stylistic novelty.
Letterforms lean toward a transitional text-serif sensibility: open counters, controlled contrast, and serifs that help guide the eye along the line. In the sample text, spacing appears comfortable and the shapes maintain clarity at display sizes while remaining suitable for continuous reading.
