A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and a balanced, book-oriented construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with clean, tapered joins and a steady vertical stress, giving the letterforms a composed, even texture in paragraphs. Capitals are tall and dignified with crisp serifs and restrained detailing, while lowercase forms keep open counters and familiar proportions for sustained reading. Numerals appear lining and proportionally varied, matching the text rhythm rather than aiming for strict tabular uniformity.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits formal communications such as reports and institutional materials, and can support traditional branding and titling when a restrained, established feel is preferred.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a quiet formality that reads as established and trustworthy. Its measured contrast and conservative shapes evoke literary and academic settings rather than display-driven personality.
The design appears intended as a dependable general-purpose text serif: familiar letterforms, moderate contrast, and disciplined serif treatment prioritize readability and a timeless, conventional presence over stylistic novelty.
In the sample text, the type maintains a stable color and spacing at larger sizes, with clear differentiation between similar forms (notably the two-storey shapes and sturdy verticals) and a generally smooth baseline rhythm. Serifs and terminals stay consistent across the set, reinforcing a cohesive, conventional text voice.
