A conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs and softly modulated strokes. The drawing favors broad, open counters and a steady, bookish rhythm, with rounded joins and subtle calligraphic influence rather than sharp, high-contrast detailing. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows familiar text-face structures (double-storey a and g, compact e, and a readable, slightly tapered r). Numerals follow the same understated modulation and sit comfortably with the text, giving the face a cohesive, workmanlike color in paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and familiar letterforms support sustained legibility. It also fits formal communications, reports, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed books, academic settings, and established editorial typography. It reads as trustworthy and conservative, with a warm, humanist undercurrent that keeps it from feeling overly rigid or ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional in structure, moderate in contrast, and tuned for comfortable paragraph setting. Its restrained details suggest an emphasis on clarity and typographic neutrality over display eccentricity.
In text, the spacing and proportions produce a calm, even texture that remains legible at larger sizes while still feeling appropriate for continuous reading. Serifs are present and clearly defined, but kept restrained, helping the face maintain clarity without becoming decorative.
