A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation, pairing sturdy verticals with smooth, rounded bowls. The capitals are broad and steady, with clear, triangular serifs and confident horizontals, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic flow through curved joins and tapered terminals. Counters are generous and the rhythm is even, producing a solid text color; numerals are open and readable with old-style-like shaping cues in the curves and terminals. Overall proportions lean spacious, giving the face an unhurried, authoritative presence at both display and text sizes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice supports comfortable scanning. It also fits formal documents, academic materials, and institutional print where a traditional typographic character is desired, and can scale up effectively for headings that need a composed, classical look.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone associated with established publishing and institutional communication. It feels composed and serious without becoming overly ornate, suggesting reliability and tradition.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that performs cleanly in continuous reading while retaining enough presence for headlines. Its balanced modulation and restrained detailing suggest a focus on timeless readability and broad editorial utility.
In running text, the forms maintain clarity through consistent serif treatment and a stable baseline, with crisp joins and well-defined apertures helping maintain readability. The design emphasizes conventional letterforms and familiar proportions, prioritizing legibility and typographic neutrality over stylistic novelty.
