A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into the serifs, giving a polished, bookish texture rather than a sharp or dramatic one. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and generous counters; curves are round and steady, and terminals tend toward softly tapered, wedge-like finishes. The lowercase has a traditional, two-storey “a” and “g,” while capitals are stately and open, supporting clear word shapes in continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfort and clarity. It also fits formal documents such as reports and academic material, and can scale up for headings when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literate, with a reserved formality suited to editorial and institutional voices. It feels traditional and dependable, evoking established print typography rather than contemporary minimalism or display flair.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a timeless page color. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and traditional lowercase forms aim to perform reliably in dense paragraphs while maintaining a classic typographic character.
Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and alignments that blend smoothly into running text. The italic is not shown; all samples present an upright roman with consistent spacing and a composed, text-first color on the page.
