A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and gently tapered, slightly flared stroke endings. Curves are round and open, with moderate modulation and soft joins that suggest a pen-influenced construction without becoming decorative. Proportions are steady and text-oriented: counters are generous, spacing is even, and the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g with a sturdy, readable rhythm. Capitals are stately with restrained detailing, and figures sit comfortably with clear shapes and solid weight distribution.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color matters. It also fits reports, academic or institutional materials, and other content that needs a traditional serif presence with dependable legibility.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting familiarity and trust. It feels formal without stiffness, suitable for contexts that benefit from a traditional editorial voice and a sense of established credibility.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: familiar forms, moderate detailing, and balanced spacing to produce a stable, readable texture across paragraphs while retaining a conservative, polished character.
In the text sample, the face maintains a calm color and consistent texture across lines, with sturdy serifs helping guide horizontal flow. The shapes favor clarity over stylization, with rounded terminals and modest contrast keeping it resilient at typical reading sizes.
