A conventional serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and clear stroke modulation. Curves show moderate, slightly diagonal stress, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep the rhythm readable in text. Capitals are sturdy and proportioned for headings, while the lowercase has compact, traditional forms with a two‑storey “a” and “g” and short, confident ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow an oldstyle pattern with noticeable ascenders/descenders, matching the text color and flow.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, articles, reports, and other long-form layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also scales comfortably for headlines, pull quotes, and section titling that benefits from a traditional editorial voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, academic setting, and established editorial typography. Its measured contrast and familiar silhouettes feel authoritative without becoming ornate or display-driven.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: conventional forms, controlled contrast, and balanced proportions aimed at comfortable reading and a broadly familiar typographic voice.
The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a steady, even typographic color across lines with crisp serif detailing that remains distinct at larger sizes. Letterforms lean toward classic, text-first construction, with restrained terminals and a conservative, workmanlike finish.
