A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, readable texture. The capitals are sturdy and classical, with clear vertical stress and crisp terminals that stay refined rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are compact and balanced, with rounded bowls and sturdy stems; the two-storey a and g reinforce a traditional text-seriffed build. Figures align comfortably with the text color and show familiar, straightforward shapes suited to continuous reading.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, magazines, and editorial articles, where its even texture and traditional shapes support comfortable paragraphs. It also works for formal collateral—reports, academic material, and brand copy—especially when a familiar, authoritative serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting trust and formality without feeling ornate. Its measured contrast and traditional construction give it an editorial, institutional voice that reads as established and dependable.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes conventional letterforms, consistent spacing rhythm, and a composed page color. Its restrained detailing suggests a goal of versatility across body text and headings while maintaining a classic, established feel.
Counters remain open and the rhythm is even across mixed-case text, producing a stable “book page” color at larger paragraph sizes. Serifs are clean and moderately sized, giving clear horizontal anchoring while keeping edges sharp in display settings.
