A conventional serif with sturdy, moderately modulated strokes and bracketed serifs that soften the joins into stems. Proportions are comfortable and text-oriented, with generous interior counters and smooth, rounded curves that keep paragraphs open and readable. The capitals are steady and slightly wide in feel, while lowercase forms show traditional construction—double-storey a, compact e, and a j with a clear descender—supporting an even rhythm across lines. Numerals appear text-like with varying widths and oldstyle forms, contributing to a literary, page-centered texture.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, magazines, and other long-form editorial settings where an even, readable texture is important. It can also support institutional or heritage-leaning branding and formal documents, especially when a familiar serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and quietly authoritative, evoking printed books and editorial typography rather than display-driven styling. It reads as calm and dependable, with a familiar, heritage flavor suitable for serious or informational content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and traditional typographic conventions. Its restrained detailing and balanced proportions suggest it was drawn to perform smoothly in paragraphs while still feeling appropriately formal in headings.
Serifs are not overly sharp; their subtle bracketing and rounded corners reduce harshness at small sizes. Curves and terminals stay consistent across the set, producing a stable grayscale in running text and a slightly warm, human cadence rather than a crisp, engineered one.
