A conventional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and softly modulated strokes. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, moderate apertures, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Uppercase proportions are balanced and slightly sturdy, while lowercase forms are compact with smooth joins and subtly angled terminals. Figures are lining with familiar proportions; curved numerals (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9) carry gentle stroke modulation that matches the text face.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form typography where a familiar serif texture is desired—books, essays, magazines, reports, and academic or institutional materials. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a classic, authoritative tone is needed without excessive contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its measured contrast and rounded detailing feel approachable rather than sharp, lending a dependable, classic voice for serious content.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a traditional printed character. Its moderate modulation and bracketed serifs aim for a durable, versatile texture that feels at home in editorial settings.
Details such as the diagonal leg on R, the curved tail of Q, and the softly shaped diagonals in V/W/X contribute to a cohesive, historically rooted texture. The sample text shows even color at larger sizes with clear word shapes and stable spacing, supporting continuous reading.
