A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, readable rhythm. The forms are slightly organic rather than geometric, with gently tapered joins and softly rounded transitions that keep counters open. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and sturdy, while the lowercase shows a workmanlike texture with a double-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a lightly angled stress. Terminals are generally blunt and serifed, giving the design a firm baseline and consistent color in paragraphs.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a stable serif texture is desired. It also fits reports, academic documents, and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional, credible typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, editorial feel that reads as dependable and familiar. Its restrained detailing and even texture suggest a formal voice suited to long-form reading rather than display eccentricity.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text face that prioritizes familiarity, continuity across sizes, and comfortable paragraph setting. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim for a balanced blend of warmth and authority.
In text, the font holds a solid page color with clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I, l, and 1) through serifs and proportions. Numerals appear lining and text-friendly, matching the serifed construction and maintaining the same measured contrast as the letters.
