A conventional serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms are open and generously proportioned, with a steady rhythm and clear interior counters that hold up well in paragraph settings. Capitals feel stately and slightly expansive, while the lowercase shows traditional details such as a two-storey a and g, a relatively large x-height, and round dots on i/j. Numerals are straightforward and text-friendly, with clear differentiation and classic proportions.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, articles, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It should also work comfortably for formal documents, academic or institutional materials, and brand systems that need a traditional, trustworthy typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting a familiar “printed page” authority. It reads as composed and dependable rather than trendy, with just enough calligraphic influence in the curves and terminals to feel warm and human.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, balancing classic proportions with sturdy detailing. The emphasis appears to be on consistent color, comfortable spacing, and a broadly applicable typographic tone for print-like editorial and publishing use.
Serif treatment is consistent across the set, with clean joins and gently flared finishing that avoids blunt slab-like endings. Curves on characters like C, S, and O feel smooth and controlled, and the punctuation and spacing in the sample text suggest a comfortable, readable texture for extended copy.
