A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and a steady, composed rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without feeling overly sharp, and terminals are clean and restrained. Proportions are balanced with generous counters and moderate letterspacing, helping the text color stay even across lines. Capitals appear stately and well structured, while the lowercase maintains familiar, text-oriented shapes that read smoothly in continuous setting. Numerals follow the same measured, old-style-influenced tone, keeping alignment and weight consistent with the letters.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where sustained reading and a consistent typographic voice are priorities. It can also serve effectively for formal documents and print-forward branding that needs a classic serif presence without decorative flourishes.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking the feel of established print typography. It comes across as calm, trustworthy, and slightly formal, suited to content that benefits from authority and clarity rather than overt personality.
The typeface appears designed as a general-purpose text serif: familiar forms, controlled contrast, and restrained detailing aim to deliver dependable readability and a timeless, conventional voice across paragraphs and headings.
The design favors stable geometry and predictable details—serifs are neither exaggerated nor minimized, and curves transition smoothly into stems. The lowercase forms keep a straightforward, conventional construction, supporting long-form readability and an even page texture.
