A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and a steady, even rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with classical restraint and slightly softened joins, while lowercase forms stay compact with rounded bowls and clear, open counters. Serifs read as firmly attached rather than sharp or hairline, giving strokes a stable, print-oriented texture. Numerals appear in an oldstyle (text-figure) style with ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Works well for extended reading in books, journals, and other editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also fits formal documents, academic materials, and reports that benefit from a restrained, conventional typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, editorial feel. It suggests tradition and reliability rather than novelty, making it well suited to calm, authoritative communication.
Designed to provide an unobtrusive, dependable serif for comfortable reading and traditional typography. The moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim for clarity at text sizes while maintaining a classic, print-forward character.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates consistent color in paragraph settings and good differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/J and O/Q). Letterforms lean toward a slightly warm, humanist reading rather than strictly geometric construction.
