A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation that reads clearly at text sizes. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, with open counters and a calm, even rhythm across lines. The capitals are proportioned for editorial use—broad, steady forms without sharp eccentricities—while lowercase shows classic text-serif traits like a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and compact, well-contained bowls. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and extenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, familiar serif voice supports comfortable reading. It also fits academic and business documents, reports, and other contexts that benefit from a traditional, credible typographic tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established publishing and institutional typography rather than overt display styling. Its restrained contrast and traditional detailing give it a formal, trustworthy presence suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: conservative in structure, readable in continuous copy, and harmonized across uppercase, lowercase, and figures for professional publishing work.
Spacing and color look balanced and consistent in the sample text, producing a smooth paragraph texture without pronounced darkness or sparkle. Terminals and serifs avoid bluntness, favoring softly tapered endings that keep the texture refined.
