A sturdy text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with clear thick–thin modulation, and the joins feel smooth rather than sharply chiseled. Proportions are generously set with ample interior space, open apertures, and rounded bowls; capitals read broad and stable, while lowercase forms maintain clear differentiation and steady spacing. Numerals are robust and legible, matching the letterforms’ restrained, print-oriented detailing.
It is well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color is important. The sturdy capitals and clear numerals also make it effective for headings, subheads, and structured content like catalogs or program notes.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a distinctly editorial and academic flavor. It conveys authority without feeling ornate, balancing warmth from its curved serifs with a crisp, composed presence suited to formal reading contexts.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose serif for comfortable reading, pairing traditional proportions with crisp, contemporary refinement. It aims to deliver a stable texture on the page and a trustworthy voice across both display and text sizes.
Curved terminals and bracket transitions soften the texture, helping large blocks of text stay even and readable. The design keeps a conventional, familiar skeleton, prioritizing clarity and consistency over idiosyncratic flair.
