A conventional serif with balanced proportions and a steady, readable rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with smooth transitions, and the serifs are bracketed with gently tapered terminals that keep the color even in text. Uppercase forms are calm and proportional, with a relatively wide, open C and rounded bowls; the Q has a modest, curved tail. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation and sturdy details, with a two-storey a, open apertures, and compact joins that hold up well in continuous reading. Numerals follow the same restrained, book-oriented tone, with straightforward shapes and consistent serif treatment.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained legibility and an even typographic color are priorities. It also fits formal communications and academic materials that benefit from a conventional, established serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking editorial typography and established print conventions. It reads as composed and trustworthy rather than expressive, lending a quietly authoritative, literary feel.
The design intent appears to prioritize dependable readability and typographic neutrality, offering a familiar serif structure with refined contrast and restrained detailing for continuous text setting.
In paragraphs the letterspacing and internal counters create a smooth texture without looking overly tight or airy. Terminals and serifs stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, text-first character.
