A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Strokes show moderated contrast with smooth transitions into the serifs, and the overall color is even without feeling heavy. Proportions are balanced, with moderate caps and a normal x-height; counters are open and round forms remain calm and controlled. The lowercase shows familiar, workhorse shapes with a two-storey “g” and a sturdy “a,” while numerals are proportioned for running text and align visually with the rest of the set.
This font is well suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where consistent texture and familiar serif shapes support readability. It also fits reports, essays, and other document-centric design that benefits from a restrained, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and bookish, projecting editorial seriousness and a quiet formality. It feels suited to established institutions and long-form reading, with a composed, literary character rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: conventional letterforms, moderated contrast, and stable proportions prioritize readability and typographic neutrality across extended passages.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, helping maintain an even texture in paragraphs. Terminals and joins are conservative and clean, reinforcing a dependable, mainstream text-seriffed look.
