A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and fairly wide, with clearly articulated terminals and a slightly softened, calligraphic feel in the curves. Lowercase shows open apertures and generous counters, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact, sturdy “t,” and a rounded “e” with a clear eye; joins and shoulders read smooth rather than mechanical. Numerals are lining and proportionally varied, matching the text color with stable vertical stress and clean, slightly tapered serifs.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable rhythm and comfortable counters help maintain legibility. It also fits academic, legal, and institutional materials, and can scale up for tasteful headings, pull quotes, and front-matter typography without losing its composed character.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, communicating credibility and calm authority. Its familiar serif detailing and measured contrast evoke printed books, editorial pages, and institutional communication rather than a trendy or experimental voice.
Designed to provide a dependable, conventional reading face with familiar serif cues and balanced proportions, prioritizing clarity and an even text texture across mixed-case and numerals.
Spacing appears even and composed, producing a consistent text color in paragraph settings. The italic is not shown; the style presented reads as a straightforward roman suited to continuous reading and structured layouts.
