A conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs and gently modulated strokes. The forms are open and rounded, with a steady baseline rhythm and moderate curves in bowls and shoulders. Capitals read stately and structured, while the lowercase shows slightly oldstyle tendencies, including a two-storey “g” and softly tapered terminals. Numerals are clear and evenly proportioned, with lining-like presence and unobtrusive detailing that keeps text color consistent.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, journals, and other extended reading where an even texture and familiar serif detailing support comfortable flow. It also works for reports and academic materials that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking familiar book typography and editorial seriousness. It feels composed and trustworthy rather than trendy, with a quiet formality that suits long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: balanced proportions, conservative detailing, and an even rhythm aimed at readability and typographic familiarity across continuous prose.
Curves appear carefully smoothed with restrained contrast, giving a stable, even texture in paragraphs. Serifs are present but not sharp or overly pronounced, helping maintain clarity at typical text sizes while still offering traditional character.
