A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even rhythm. Terminals are clean and slightly squared, giving a firm, confident texture in both display and paragraph settings. Uppercase forms are sturdy and fairly broad, while lowercase keeps a readable, familiar skeleton with open counters and a clear two-storey “a.” Numerals appear lining and well-proportioned, with strong verticals and distinct shapes that hold up at larger sizes.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and long-form editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports extended reading. It also fits formal documents and reports, and can serve for headlines or section titles when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its crisp finishing and balanced contrast give it a composed, institutional feel suited to classic typography rather than overt stylization.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: classic proportions, restrained contrast, and bracketed serifs combine to produce a calm reading rhythm and a conventional typographic voice.
In the sample text, the face maintains consistent color across long lines, and the serif structure helps guide the eye along the baseline. The design favors clarity over ornament, with no exaggerated calligraphic features and an emphasis on stable, print-like proportions.
