A conventional serif with sharply cut, bracketed serifs and noticeable stroke modulation. Curves show moderate stress and clean transitions into stems, producing a crisp, print-oriented texture. Capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned with restrained flare, while lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact joins, and clear counters. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a flowing, text-friendly alignment that blends naturally into running copy.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and clear letterforms are preferred. It also fits reports, academic materials, and other formal documents, and can serve as a steady headline companion when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, evoking classic book typography and established editorial design. Its contrast and crisp finishing lend a slightly formal, authoritative feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, workhorse text serif: traditional proportions, clear modulation, and disciplined serif construction aimed at producing a stable, readable page color across paragraphs.
The punctuation-like details (such as the ball terminal on “j”) and the lively oldstyle numerals add a subtle warmth to an otherwise sober, conventional serif voice. In larger sizes, the high-contrast strokes and sharp serifs read particularly clean and refined.
