A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke contrast, showing a steady vertical stress and clean, confident outlines. Capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, with gently cupped serifs and crisp joins that keep the texture firm without feeling sharp. Lowercase forms are classic and readable, with open apertures, compact ascenders, and a clear, upright rhythm; the two‑storey a and g and the footed l reinforce a traditional text tone. Numerals are well aligned and text-friendly, with familiar, straightforward shapes that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and stable paragraph color are important. It also fits academic and professional documents, reports, and print-oriented branding that needs a conventional, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and institutional printing. It reads as serious and dependable rather than decorative, with a calm cadence that supports extended reading and measured, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: traditional letterforms, measured contrast, and controlled serif shaping aim to deliver comfortable readability and a credible, timeless typographic presence.
Spacing appears moderate, producing an even gray value in paragraphs, and the serifs help guide horizontal flow. The design favors clarity over eccentricity, with restrained detailing and stable proportions that remain consistent across upper- and lowercase.
