A conventional serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed, gently flared serifs. Curves are round and open, with a steady baseline rhythm and balanced proportions that feel neither condensed nor wide. The uppercase shows restrained, classical construction with clear crossbars and softly tapered terminals, while the lowercase keeps a readable, book-oriented skeleton with compact counters and smoothly joined joins. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, using familiar shapes and consistent serif treatment.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, traditional texture is desirable. It can also support formal documents and institutional branding, especially in settings that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, evoking printed books, academic material, and editorial typography. Its calm rhythm and familiar letterforms read as serious and composed rather than decorative or trendy.
The font appears designed as a general-purpose text serif: prioritizing familiarity, even color, and comfortable reading at paragraph sizes while retaining a refined, classical character.
The design maintains a consistent texture in paragraph settings, with clear differentiation between similar forms (such as I/l and O/0) through serifs and proportions. Terminals and serifs stay understated, supporting long-form readability while still providing a distinctly serifed presence.
