A conventional serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a measured, bookish rhythm. Capitals are wide and stately with clear, classical construction (notably the round forms in C/O/Q) and a balanced presence against the lowercase. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies, including a two-storey g, a compact, slightly angled stress in rounded letters, and a modest x-height that leaves comfortable interior space. Terminals are clean and slightly tapered, with smooth joins and consistent curve quality; numerals are proportional and align naturally with the text color.
Well suited to books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady serif texture supports comfortable reading. It can also serve in reports, academic material, and formal correspondence, with enough refinement for pull quotes and section headings when set with appropriate tracking and leading.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking editorial typography and established institutions rather than novelty. Its measured contrast and restrained detailing give it a quietly authoritative voice suitable for long-form reading and formal messaging.
Designed to deliver a familiar, reliable text serif voice with classical proportions and unobtrusive detail, aiming for readability and a timeless page color across a broad range of typographic settings.
In running text it maintains an even texture with clear letter separation, while the capitals provide a dignified headline presence without looking overly sharp or high-contrast. The design favors legibility through open counters and controlled spacing, keeping the page color steady across mixed case and numerals.
