A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, readable rhythm. Letterforms are open and relatively broad, with smooth joins and softly tapered terminals that suggest a mild calligraphic influence without becoming ornate. Capitals are sturdy and well-proportioned, while lowercase forms show clear differentiation and generous counters; the two-storey “a” and “g” reinforce its text-oriented build. Numerals appear lining and robust, with straightforward shapes that match the type’s even color in paragraphs.
This font is well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice supports comprehension. It also fits reports, academic material, and other formal documents that benefit from a conservative, polished typographic palette.
The overall tone feels traditional and composed, lending an editorial seriousness that reads as established and dependable. It conveys a quiet formality suited to institutions and long-form reading rather than playful or experimental settings.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: legible, balanced, and historically grounded, with just enough contrast and serif modeling to feel refined without distracting from content.
In text, the face maintains an even typographic color with clear word shapes and calm spacing, giving it a comfortable, familiar page presence. Subtle terminal shaping and bracketed serifs add warmth and refinement while keeping the design firmly in the conventional serif tradition.
