A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, gently tapered stems, and moderate stroke modulation that reads clearly at text sizes. Capitals are stately and proportioned with a traditional Roman structure, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle inclination through its softly angled stress and rounded joins. Terminals are clean and slightly sheared, giving curves a crisp finish without feeling sharp. The numerals follow the same text-oriented logic with even color and familiar, readable forms.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, articles, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits reports, academic materials, and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy typographic tone.
The overall tone is bookish and established, projecting authority and calm professionalism. Its restrained contrast and traditional detailing create a composed, editorial voice suited to serious content rather than display novelty.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif with a subtly oldstyle character—prioritizing readability, balanced texture, and a timeless page presence over expressive display features.
Spacing and rhythm appear even, producing a steady text color in the sample paragraph. Curves and diagonals maintain consistent serif treatment, and the punctuation and figures visually harmonize with the letterforms for continuous reading.
