A conventional text serif with bracketed wedge serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and well-controlled, with slightly tapered terminals and a gently calligraphic feel in joins and transitions. Proportions are balanced rather than condensed, with clear counters and open apertures that keep the texture calm at paragraph scale. Numerals sit comfortably alongside the letters with similarly moderated contrast and sturdy verticals.
Works well for body copy in books, magazines, and long-form editorial layouts where a steady reading rhythm is important. It also fits formal documents and reports, and can scale up to headings for a traditional, print-oriented typographic hierarchy.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suited to editorial settings where familiarity and authority matter. It conveys a traditional, literary voice—measured, composed, and quietly formal—without feeling ornate or overly sharp.
The design appears intended as a reliable, general-purpose serif for extended reading, prioritizing familiar proportions, consistent texture, and unobtrusive elegance in paragraphs.
In continuous text the color stays consistent, and the serifs help guide the eye along the line. Uppercase forms feel dignified and stable for headings, while the lowercase remains restrained and legible for longer reading.
