A refined serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear contrast between thick and thin strokes. The drawing shows gently modulated curves, tapered terminals, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm that stays calm at larger sizes. Uppercase proportions feel traditional with crisp, slightly flared finishing strokes, while the lowercase leans oldstyle with a two-storey “g,” a compact, round “e,” and open counters that keep words readable. Numerals match the text tone with sturdy stems and distinct shapes, maintaining even color in lines of copy.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial layouts where sustained readability is important. It also fits reports, academic materials, and formal brand communications that benefit from a conventional, established serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a poised, editorial presence. It reads as trustworthy and traditional rather than trendy, suited to contexts where clarity and polish matter.
The design appears aimed at a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, disciplined contrast, and familiar letterforms that prioritize comfortable reading and typographic neutrality.
Stroke transitions are smooth and controlled, giving the face a composed texture in paragraphs. Round letters show subtle stress, and the serifs add a gentle horizontal emphasis that supports long-form reading.
