A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, softly tapered terminals, and moderate stroke modulation. The proportions are balanced and slightly compact, with round counters and a steady horizontal rhythm that keeps texture even in paragraphs. Uppercase forms are sturdy and restrained, while lowercase shows oldstyle influence through a two‑storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a “g” with a pronounced ear and loop. Numerals are lining with clear, open shapes and gentle serifing that matches the letters.
Well suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable reading. It can also serve for academic or professional documents, headings, and pull quotes when a traditional, trustworthy voice is desired.
The font reads as classic and bookish, with a calm, authoritative tone suited to long-form reading. Its measured contrast and traditional detailing convey editorial polish rather than display flamboyance, giving it a dependable, literary feel.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose reading serif that prioritizes legibility and a time-tested, literary character. Its restrained contrast and classic serif shaping suggest a focus on dependable text performance across common print and document contexts.
Details like the angled crossbar on “e,” the slightly cupped serifs, and the crisp joins on diagonals help maintain clarity at text sizes. The sample text shows consistent spacing and a stable baseline, producing an even, familiar page color.
