A traditional serif with softly bracketed, slightly flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The proportions are on the roomy side, with generous sidebearings and open interior spaces that keep counters clear in both roman capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and round, terminals tend toward subtle teardrop/ball forms in places, and the lowercase shows a calm, even rhythm suitable for continuous text. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with ascenders and descenders, matching the text color of the lowercase rather than sitting on a uniform cap-height line.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and academic or institutional documents where comfort and clarity matter. The generous spacing and open counters also make it effective for editorial layouts, pull quotes, and refined headings that need a traditional serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, reputable feel. It reads as traditional and slightly formal without looking stiff, lending a familiar, editorial voice to paragraphs and headlines alike.
Designed to provide a familiar, highly readable text serif with classic detailing and a balanced, even page texture. The matching oldstyle numerals and restrained contrast suggest an emphasis on cohesive typography for body copy and editorial composition.
The sample text shows steady color across lines with clear differentiation between similar shapes (such as I/l/1) aided by serifs and distinctive forms. The capitals have dignified, gently tapered strokes, while the lowercase maintains a readable texture with friendly curves and a restrained, conventional character.
