A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, book-like rhythm. Capitals are well-proportioned with crisp terminals and restrained detailing, while lowercase forms read smoothly with a traditional two-storey a and g and compact, tidy joins. Curves are open and controlled, counters are comfortably sized, and overall spacing feels even, producing a clear texture in paragraphs. Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the text tone with consistent weight and proportions.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where an even serif texture and conventional letterforms are desired. It also fits academic or institutional documents, reports, and formal communications, and can scale up for headings while keeping a traditional voice.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a quietly authoritative, literary feel. It suggests traditional publishing and institutional communication rather than overt personality, aiming for familiarity and trust.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim to produce a familiar page color and stable paragraph performance across a range of sizes.
The sample text shows stable word shapes and a consistent horizontal rhythm, with punctuation and dot forms that remain clear at text sizes. Diagonals in letters like V, W, and Y stay sharp without becoming brittle, supporting both display lines and continuous reading.
