A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and fairly round, with crisp terminals and a steady baseline rhythm. Capitals are proportioned for text settings rather than display, while lowercase forms show sturdy stems, compact bowls, and a traditional double-storey “g.” Numerals follow the same old-style text serif logic, with open counters and consistent contrast.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, where its classic serif structure and balanced contrast maintain clarity. It also fits reports, academic publishing, and print-forward brand systems that need a traditional text voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting trust and editorial polish. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast add a slightly formal, institutional feel without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes legibility and a familiar literary character. Its controlled contrast, bracketed serifs, and conservative proportions aim to produce an even, comfortable reading texture across paragraphs.
Texture in paragraph settings looks even and readable, with moderate spacing that avoids crowding. The design favors familiar, time-tested shapes—particularly in the capitals and the restrained, conventional terminals—supporting a calm, print-oriented color on the page.
