A text-oriented serif with bracketed, subtly flared terminals and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms show moderate, traditional proportions with open counters and clear interior spaces, helping maintain an even rhythm in running text. Curves are smooth and full, with gently sculpted joins; verticals feel stable while diagonals remain clean and controlled. Numerals and capitals carry the same restrained serif treatment, keeping the overall texture cohesive and readable at display-to-text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where consistent texture and clarity matter. It also works cleanly for reports, academic materials, and institutional communications, and can hold up in headlines when set with generous spacing.
The tone is conventional and composed, with a bookish, editorial voice. Its restrained detailing and steady color suggest seriousness and credibility without feeling ornate, making it feel familiar and dependable.
Likely designed as a practical, readable serif that borrows traditional proportions and refined terminals to deliver a steady, authoritative texture. The flared finishing and open forms aim to add warmth and character while remaining highly serviceable for everyday typography.
The serif shaping leans toward flared endings rather than sharp slabs, giving strokes a slightly carved feel while staying conservative. Spacing appears balanced, and the sample text maintains a consistent, calm typographic color across mixed-case settings.
