A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke contrast, combining sturdy verticals with softly modeled curves. The proportions read as balanced and bookish, with a comfortable x-height and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes without becoming delicate. Counters are generous and apertures remain fairly open, helping letters like C, e, and s avoid pinching. Uppercase forms feel steady and slightly monumental, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a two-storey a and g and compact, well-contained joins.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, long-form articles, and other editorial layouts where a steady serif texture is desired. It can also serve in formal communication—reports, academic materials, and institutional collateral—where a traditional typographic tone supports clarity and credibility.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking printed books and established institutions rather than experimental display. It feels composed and familiar, with enough warmth in the curves and serifs to avoid harshness while maintaining a formal, dependable voice.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that delivers familiar, comfortable reading color with classical detailing. Its moderated contrast and well-formed serifs suggest a focus on dependable performance across paragraphs while retaining a traditional, literary character.
Numerals appear lining and text-friendly, with clear, conventional shapes and consistent weight relative to the letters. The design keeps contrast and detailing moderate, prioritizing even color and readability across words and multi-line settings.
