A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, sturdy vertical stems, and moderate stroke modulation. The overall drawing is crisp and compact, with triangular and wedge-like terminals appearing on several capitals and a generally even, text-oriented rhythm. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with a two-storey “g” and “a”, rounded bowls, and slightly calligraphic joins that keep the texture lively without becoming decorative. Numerals are proportioned for text, with clear shapes and balanced widths that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is preferred. It also fits academic and professional documents, reports, and formal branding applications that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish seriousness with an editorial, institutional tone. Its steady proportions and restrained detailing feel dependable and conventional, lending an air of authority suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while retaining classic serif character. Its moderate contrast and bracketed finishing suggest a focus on dependable performance across headings and body copy without stylistic distraction.
In the sample text, the face maintains a dark, confident color and consistent spacing, producing a stable paragraph texture. The italics are not shown; the visible roman style relies on traditional serif cues rather than overt personality traits, keeping emphasis on clarity and composition.
