A conventional text serif with bracketed, moderately sized serifs and softly tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show restrained contrast and an even, readable rhythm, with open apertures and ample counters that keep the page color steady in paragraph settings. Capitals are stately and proportioned for titling, while the lowercase has a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a and g and a compact, sturdy presence. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varied heights and descenders that integrate naturally into running text.
Well-suited to body copy in books and long-form editorial layouts where a stable, traditional serif texture is desirable. It also works for academic and business documents, and can serve for headings or pull quotes when a classic, authoritative voice is needed.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying a dependable, academic seriousness without feeling ornate. Its calm texture and familiar shapes suggest editorial authority and long-form readability rather than display experimentation.
Designed to function as a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, prioritizing familiar proportions and an even typographic color. The use of text figures and measured contrast suggests an intent to blend seamlessly into editorial systems rather than draw attention to itself.
Curves and serifs resolve cleanly with subtle bracketing, and diagonals (like in V, W, and X) read crisp without becoming sharp or spiky. In the sample text, spacing supports continuous reading and maintains consistent word rhythm at larger sizes.
