A conventional serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation that reads clearly at text sizes. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous counters and a steady, even rhythm across lines. Curves are smooth and slightly softened, while terminals and serifs remain crisp enough to keep the color firm on the page. Lowercase forms show a compact, workmanlike construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a modestly sized eye, and clear differentiation between similar shapes; numerals are similarly robust and open.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, long articles, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits academic and institutional documents, reports, and print-oriented typography that benefits from clear forms and a steady typographic color.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, leaning toward scholarly and institutional rather than decorative. It conveys stability and seriousness, with a familiar, editorial presence suited to long-form reading and traditional communication.
The design appears intended as a reliable, conventional text serif: familiar proportions, dependable spacing, and restrained detailing aimed at comfortable readability and a timeless page tone.
In the sample text the face maintains a consistent texture, with punctuation and capitals holding their weight well, supporting emphasis without looking overly sharp. The serifs and curves feel slightly rounded in join behavior, which helps keep dense paragraphs from appearing brittle.
