A conventional serif with compact proportions and a steady, moderately contrasting stroke pattern. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, giving terminals a crisp yet traditional finish rather than a slab-like feel. The capitals are dignified and relatively narrow, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward construction with a two-storey a and g and a compact rhythm that reads evenly across text. Numerals appear lining and sit firmly on the baseline, matching the text color with clear, restrained detailing.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. Its compact footprint also lends itself to reports, reference material, and dense settings, while the sturdy capitals can support restrained headlines and subheads.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, editorial seriousness. It evokes familiar print traditions—measured, trustworthy, and a bit formal—without leaning into ornament or eccentricity.
Designed to deliver a familiar, dependable text-serif presence with compact proportions and a clean, print-oriented finish. The letterforms prioritize consistency and readability, aiming for an authoritative, traditional voice that works across body copy and supporting display sizes.
In text, the font maintains a stable gray value with slightly tightened internal spacing and crisp joins, making it feel efficient and economical. Round letters stay controlled rather than overly wide, and the serifs provide gentle guidance along the baseline for continuous reading.
