A conventional text serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation that reads cleanly at paragraph sizes. The proportions are balanced, with steady vertical stems and round forms that stay fairly open, while terminals and joins remain crisp and controlled. Uppercase letters feel sturdy and calm, and the lowercase maintains a familiar rhythm with rounded bowls and clearly defined counters; figures align comfortably with the text color and follow the same measured contrast.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also works for reports, institutional communications, and text-heavy web or print pages that benefit from a traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority without feeling ornate. It suggests a traditional editorial voice—measured, trustworthy, and suitable for content-forward typography.
Designed to provide a dependable, conventional serif for continuous reading, emphasizing clarity, steady rhythm, and typographic neutrality while retaining enough contrast and serif shaping to feel refined in editorial contexts.
Details such as the angled entry/exit strokes and the subtly sculpted serifs give the face a slightly refined, print-oriented texture. The sample text shows even spacing and a stable baseline, producing a consistent gray value across lines.
