A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and smooth transitions into the main strokes. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and an overall rounded, bookish skeleton, with open counters and comfortable interior spacing. Uppercase forms are steady and stately, while the lowercase maintains a slightly lively rhythm through curved joins, angled shoulders, and softly finished terminals. Numerals follow the same text-friendly proportions, with clear shapes and unobtrusive detailing that keeps color even across lines of text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and clear counters support sustained legibility. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. Its restrained detailing and calm texture feel credible and familiar, suitable for settings where readability and authority matter more than stylistic display.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, moderate contrast, and carefully bracketed serifs aim to produce an even, comfortable texture across paragraphs while still providing a classic tone for display sizes.
The italic is not shown; in the upright style presented, curves are generously drawn and serifs avoid sharp, high-contrast spikes, which supports a smooth reading flow. Capitals have a classic, inscriptional presence without becoming overly ornate, helping headlines feel dignified while staying compatible with long-form text.
