A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and softly rounded joins that give the letterforms an oldstyle, bookish texture. Strokes show moderate modulation with thicker verticals and gently tapered terminals, producing a calm, even color in text. Proportions are balanced with a normal x-height and open counters; the italic is not shown, and the roman remains upright and steady. Details like the angled crossbar in the lowercase “e,” the two-storey “a,” and the traditional, slightly flared serifs reinforce a familiar text-face construction.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits reports, academic materials, and magazine typography that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice without looking overly sharp or high-contrast.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting printed-page authority rather than display theatrics. Its softened transitions and rounded stress add warmth, keeping it approachable while still feeling formal and established.
The design appears intended as a dependable general-purpose text serif: traditional in structure, moderate in contrast, and tuned for consistent paragraph color. It prioritizes readability and a familiar literary tone over novelty, aiming to blend smoothly into editorial and book settings.
Caps have sturdy, traditional proportions with clear serifs and moderate contrast that stays consistent across the alphabet. Figures appear lining with serifed construction, matching the rhythm of the letters and maintaining a cohesive, book-typographic feel.
