A traditional serif with moderate stroke contrast, gently bracketed serifs, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Curves are full and slightly organic, with rounded joins and softly tapered terminals that keep counters open. Capitals feel sturdy and conservative, while the lowercase shows classic text-face traits such as a two-storey “g” and “a” and compact, well-contained bowls. Numerals appear oldstyle, integrating smoothly with running text rather than standing as rigid lining figures.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and clear letterforms matter. It also performs comfortably for formal documents and multi-level typography that mixes text with occasional numerals.
The overall tone is familiar and authoritative, evoking printed books, newspapers, and academic settings. Its restrained details and measured contrast convey seriousness and trust without feeling sharp or ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif that prioritizes stability, familiar letterforms, and consistent paragraph texture, with small refinements aimed at maintaining clarity across sizes and printing conditions.
Several letters show subtle notches and tight joins that read like ink-trap or cut-in details at small sizes, helping preserve clarity in dense text. The design favors compact proportions and consistent color, producing an even texture in paragraphs and a composed presence in headings.
