A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, sturdy vertical stems, and a moderate thick–thin rhythm that reads clearly at display and text sizes. The letterforms have generous proportions and open counters, with a steady baseline and upright stance. Serifs are relatively firm and slightly flared, giving terminals a crisp finish without becoming sharp or ornate. Curves and joins show subtle calligraphic influence, and overall spacing feels comfortable rather than tight.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and reports, as well as magazines and other editorial layouts. Its sturdy serifs and clear structure also make it effective for section heads, pull quotes, and brand identities that need a classic, print-forward voice.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a confident, editorial presence. It suggests established print typography—measured, trustworthy, and slightly formal—while remaining approachable for everyday reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for continuous reading, balancing traditional forms with enough crispness to hold up in prominent display lines. Its proportions and moderate contrast aim to deliver comfortable rhythm and legibility across common typographic uses.
Uppercase forms appear solid and evenly weighted, supporting strong headings, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals follow the same restrained, text-oriented construction, integrating smoothly with paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
