A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and a balanced, moderately contrasted stroke structure. The capitals are stately and proportioned with clear vertical stress and crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows sturdy, readable forms with open apertures and restrained curves. Serifs are finely shaped rather than heavy, giving the face a clean page color and steady rhythm. Numerals follow the same disciplined structure, with classic proportions and clear differentiation at text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where consistent rhythm and familiar letterforms support comprehension. It also works for professional documents—reports, academic material, and institutional print—where a traditional serif voice is desired. The sturdy capitals can serve for headings and pull quotes when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting credibility and editorial polish. It feels formal without being overly ornate, lending a calm, authoritative voice suited to conventional publishing and institutional communication.
This design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while retaining a refined, traditional character. Its moderate contrast and carefully bracketed serifs suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph setting across a range of sizes.
Spacing and sidebearing balance appear tuned for continuous reading, with even texture in the paragraph sample and no exaggerated quirks. The italic is not shown; all samples presented read as upright roman forms.
