A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady upright stance. Curves are full and softly tensioned, while joins and terminals show subtle calligraphic influence rather than hard geometry. Capitals feel slightly compact with crisp, tapered serifs; lowercase proportions are even and readable, with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a looped “g.” Numerals are clear and lining in appearance, matching the letterforms with similar contrast and serif treatment.
Well suited for book and long-form reading, editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also support conservative branding and formal communications, especially in print where its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs remain crisp.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, editorial voice that reads as established and dependable. Its restrained contrast and familiar forms suggest tradition and seriousness without becoming ornate or overly historical.
Designed to provide a familiar, high-legibility serif voice for continuous text, balancing traditional detailing with restrained contrast for dependable, general-purpose typography.
The rhythm is even and text-forward, with clean counters and controlled apertures that support continuous reading. Serifs are present but not heavy, giving the face a neat, slightly formal finish suitable for dense settings.
