A classic serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and gently modulated strokes. Curves are rounded and humanist-leaning, with noticeable but not dramatic contrast and smooth transitions into terminals. Counters are open and proportions feel balanced, while the rhythm in text is calm and even. Numerals appear oldstyle, with ascending/descending forms that integrate naturally into running text.
Well suited to book typography and other long-form reading, including editorial pages, magazines, and academic or institutional documents. It can also support headings and subheads when a conventional, authoritative serif texture is desired.
The tone is traditional and bookish, evoking established print conventions and a quiet sense of authority. It reads as refined rather than showy, with a distinctly literary, editorial character suited to long-form content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes comfortable readability and familiar typographic mannerisms. Its measured contrast and traditional details suggest a focus on sustained reading and editorial versatility.
Details such as the two-storey “a” and “g,” a softly footed “1,” and a curled “Q” tail reinforce a classical text-serif voice. The lowercase shows compact, well-contained forms with restrained terminals that support steady paragraph color.
