A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The outlines show slightly calligraphic shaping, with rounded joins and softened transitions rather than razor-sharp, high-contrast detailing. Uppercase forms are sturdy and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase has open counters and a moderate x-height that keeps text comfortable and familiar. Numerals follow the same restrained, print-oriented tone with clear shapes and balanced widths.
Well-suited for body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady serif texture improves readability. It also fits formal reports, academic materials, and brand systems that want a traditional, trustworthy voice without looking ornate.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, dependable, and quietly authoritative. It feels suited to established institutions and traditional publishing rather than trendy or experimental settings.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: familiar shapes, moderate contrast, and bracketed serifs that prioritize comfortable continuous reading and a timeless typographic presence.
Letterforms maintain a consistent texture in paragraphs, with spacing that reads even and calm at text sizes. The design favors clarity over display drama, using subtle stroke contrast and conventional proportions to support long-form reading.
