A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and steady, book-oriented proportions. Capitals are broad and calm with clean, slightly tapered terminals, while round letters keep an even, controlled curve. The lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” open apertures, and clear joins; the serifs read refined rather than chunky, helping preserve a smooth text color. Numerals follow the same measured logic, with old-style influences in their varied widths and gentle shaping.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports legibility. It can also serve formal communication—reports, academic materials, and institutional print—while remaining clean enough for headings and pull quotes at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, leaning formal without feeling ornate. It suggests authority and familiarity—appropriate for contexts where a traditional serif voice should feel composed and dependable.
The design intention reads as a general-purpose text serif: traditional structure, moderate contrast, and restrained detailing aimed at reliable readability and a timeless tone across common print and document settings.
Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, with consistent sidebearings and a stable baseline. The italics are not shown; the upright style carries subtle calligraphic cues through serif curvature and stroke modulation rather than overt gesture.
