This serif shows bracketed, wedge-like serifs with clear, smooth joins and a moderate thick–thin rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and slightly broad, with open interior spaces (notably in C, G, O, and Q) and confident horizontal bars that read cleanly at display sizes. Lowercase forms are conventional and steady, with rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a readable “g” with a compact lower loop; terminals stay crisp rather than calligraphic. Numerals are proportional in feel, with rounded figures (0, 8, 9) and a straightforward, readable 1 and 7; overall spacing feels generous and even, supporting calm text color.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and journals, as well as editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support headlines and subheads in magazines or reports, where its sturdy capitals and clear serifs provide authority and structure.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, institutional warmth. It suggests established publishing, academic seriousness, and a familiar editorial voice rather than novelty or expressive display.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, highly readable text serif with a familiar historical backbone and restrained contrast. Its measured proportions and consistent serif treatment prioritize clarity and editorial versatility over stylization.
The sample text shows a stable baseline and consistent serif detailing across sizes, with punctuation and the ampersand matching the same restrained, classical construction. Round letters maintain smooth curvature, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and balanced, giving headings a dignified presence without becoming ornate.
