This serif presents a traditional, book-oriented construction with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and soft, calligraphic joins. Capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, with clear triangular and wedge-like terminals in forms such as A, V, W, and Y, while round letters (C, G, O, Q) keep a smooth, slightly oval rhythm. The lowercase shows compact, readable forms with a two-storey a and g, a gently shouldered n/m, and relatively open counters; ascenders rise cleanly above the x-height with restrained terminal treatment. Figures align comfortably with the text color, combining sturdy verticals with subtle contrast for an even, print-friendly texture.
Well suited to continuous text in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a stable rhythm and comfortable readability are priorities. It can also support formal communications—reports, institutional materials, and content-heavy web pages—where a conventional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and academic, evoking traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its restrained contrast and familiar proportions feel authoritative without becoming ornate, giving it a dependable, literary voice suitable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiar forms, steady color, and comfortable reading over display eccentricities. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of dependable performance across a range of text sizes and publishing contexts.
Spacing and internal counters produce a consistent text gray in the sample paragraph, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I/l and O/0) through serifing and proportion. The italics are not shown; all samples appear upright.
