A conventional text serif with clear stroke modulation and crisp bracketed serifs. The capitals are sturdy and moderately wide, with balanced proportions and a measured rhythm that stays even across the alphabet. Lowercase forms show a traditional, readable structure with open counters, a two-storey “g,” and a compact, workmanlike texture in running text. Numerals follow the same classic model, with strong verticals, rounded bowls, and clear differentiation between figures.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also fits formal documents such as reports, academic materials, and institutional communications, and can serve reliably for headings when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority without feeling ornamental. Its contrast and firm serifing give it a formal, editorial voice suited to established institutions and long-standing print traditions.
Designed to provide a dependable, conventional serif for continuous reading, prioritizing clarity, balanced proportions, and a traditional typographic tone. The forms emphasize familiarity and stability, aiming for versatility across common print and editorial contexts.
In text, the face maintains a steady color and predictable spacing, with punctuation and terminals that feel crisp rather than soft or calligraphic. The italics are not shown, but the upright roman presents as the primary, text-first style.
