A conventional serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a measured, slightly generous set. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into serifs, producing a steady, bookish rhythm rather than a sharp, high-contrast sparkle. Counters are open and round, terminals are mostly clean and blunt, and the lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a broad “t,” and a clear, readable “e.” Numerals align comfortably with the text style, with simple, sturdy forms and no extreme quirks.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also support formal reports, academic material, and brand systems that need a traditional, trustworthy voice in both text and headings.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, evoking traditional publishing and institutional communication. It reads as serious and composed, with enough warmth in the rounded forms to avoid feeling brittle or overly ornate.
Designed to deliver a familiar text-serif voice with strong legibility and an even page color. The emphasis appears to be on conventional proportions, stable contrast, and robust details that hold up across paragraphs and prominent headings alike.
The capitals carry substantial presence with broad proportions and stable, centered stress, making them suitable for headings without looking like a display face. The sample text shows a consistent texture across words, with clear joins and controlled spacing that supports continuous reading.
