A balanced serif with moderate contrast and softly bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with smooth curves and a controlled, traditional rhythm. Lowercase forms show a two‑storey “g” and “a,” open apertures, and rounded terminals that keep paragraphs calm and readable. Numerals are lining and sturdy, with clear differentiation and conventional shapes suited to running text.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a stable, traditional texture is desired. It also fits formal communications—reports, programs, and institutional materials—where a conventional serif voice supports credibility.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting reliability and established taste rather than trend. It feels formal without being stiff, making it comfortable for extended reading while still carrying an editorial gravitas.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar forms, measured contrast, and unobtrusive details optimized for comfortable reading and a timeless, professional impression.
Stroke modulation is present but restrained, giving letters crisp definition without a sharp, high-contrast sparkle. Spacing appears even and text color is consistent in the sample, supporting a steady page texture.
