A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderately modulated strokes. The letterforms show a steady, even rhythm with clear vertical stress, open counters, and compact curves that keep text color consistent. Uppercase capitals are stately and proportionate, while the lowercase has a familiar book-face structure with a two-storey “a,” a double-storey “g,” and a sturdy, readable “e.” Numerals appear lining and tabular-like in feel, with clear differentiation and strong baseline alignment.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, articles, and editorial layouts where a steady texture and clear word shapes matter. It also fits professional documents—reports, academic material, and institutional communications—where a traditional serif voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional print typography. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with a restrained formality suited to serious content rather than expressive display.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes clarity, conventional proportions, and an even reading rhythm. Its controlled contrast and familiar detailing suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph typography and straightforward typographic hierarchy.
Serifs stay controlled and not overly sharp, helping maintain smooth horizontal flow in paragraph settings. Spacing appears moderately generous, supporting legibility in running text while still working cleanly for headings.
