A serif text face with sturdy, even color and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and smooth curves with open counters and a calm, consistent rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in their internal spacing, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height with clear ascenders and descenders. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and a flowing, text-friendly presence.
Well-suited for body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where sustained readability matters. It also fits reports, institutional materials, and other text-forward designs that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward an editorial and literary voice. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with a familiar book-typographic character that supports long-form reading without calling excessive attention to itself.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for continuous reading, combining conventional proportions with subtle stroke modulation to maintain clarity and comfort in paragraphs.
Curves and terminals tend to finish softly rather than sharply, giving the design a slightly warm, humanist feel. Spacing appears balanced in running text, and the punctuation and basic shapes remain restrained and conventional.
