A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and softly modulated stroke contrast. Curves are full and round, while joins and terminals stay restrained and tidy, creating an even text color. Proportions lean slightly narrow with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g plus a diagonal-eared g, reinforcing a traditional reading rhythm. Numerals appear lining and proportionally varied, with clear differentiation between forms and steady vertical stress.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits reports, academic material, and other professional documents that benefit from a conservative, readable typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quiet formality suited to established editorial and institutional voices. Its soft serifs and moderate contrast feel refined rather than showy, giving text a composed, familiar presence.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar structure while retaining a touch of warmth through its softly bracketed serifs and rounded letterforms.
In running text the face maintains a smooth cadence and stable spacing, with capitals that feel dignified without becoming rigid. The design balances crispness in straight strokes with generous bowls and counters, which helps keep paragraphs from looking brittle at larger sizes.
