A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, giving a calm, even color in text. Proportions are slightly broad with roomy counters and clear apertures, supporting a steady reading rhythm. The lowercase features a two-storey “a” and “g,” a relatively short crossbar on “t,” and a gently curved “y” descender; capitals are sturdy and balanced with traditional modulation. Numerals appear lining with straightforward forms and consistent weight, matching the text tone.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for reports, academic material, and other formal documents that benefit from a restrained, familiar typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, traditional voice. It reads as dependable and formal rather than trendy, lending an editorial seriousness suitable for long-form communication.
The design appears intended to provide a familiar, highly readable serif for continuous text, prioritizing stable rhythm, clear word shapes, and a timeless, print-oriented character.
Spacing appears comfortable in the sample text, and the moderate contrast helps maintain clarity at text sizes. The serif shaping stays consistent across caps and lowercase, reinforcing a cohesive, conventional texture.
