A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. The capitals are proportioned and slightly narrow in feel, with crisp terminals and clear, slightly tapered strokes. Lowercase forms show classic text-face construction: a two-storey “a” and “g”, compact apertures, and rounded bowls that keep counters comfortably open without becoming wide. Numerals follow the same restrained, print-like tone, with even spacing and conventional shapes that sit neatly on the baseline.
Well-suited to book and long-form reading, including novels, essays, reports, and academic materials. It also fits editorial layouts such as magazines and journals, where a familiar serif voice and stable paragraph color are desired, and can serve as a dependable choice for print-forward branding and formal documents.
The overall tone is composed and literary, evoking printed pages, academic settings, and established editorial design. It reads as trustworthy and conventional rather than expressive, with a quiet formality that supports long-form reading.
This font appears designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif voice for continuous text, prioritizing an even typographic color, familiar letterforms, and a calm, authoritative presence.
Stroke endings and serifs remain clean and consistent across the set, lending a polished texture in paragraphs. The design’s moderate contrast and controlled curves help maintain clarity in both the grid display and the multi-line sample text.
