A conventional serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and clearly articulated stroke endings. Curves are full and round with a steady rhythm, while verticals feel confident and slightly emphasized, producing a composed texture in paragraphs. The contrast is moderate and controlled, with clean joins and open counters that keep forms legible at text sizes. Capitals are broad and dignified; lowercase has a traditional build with a two-storey “a,” compact “e,” and a “g” that reads as single-storey with a prominent ear.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where a stable, traditional serif texture is desired. The strong capitals and sturdy figures also support headings, pull quotes, and captions within the same typographic system.
The overall tone is classic and composed, projecting authority and familiarity rather than novelty. It feels at home in traditional publishing contexts and conveys a calm, dependable voice suited to serious or informational content.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes clarity, conventional proportions, and a familiar reading rhythm. Its moderate contrast and robust detailing suggest a focus on reliable performance in continuous text while retaining a formal, classic presence.
Numerals appear lining and sturdy, with ample weight and clear differentiation between forms. Spacing and proportions create a dense but readable color in the sample text, with punctuation and terminals that stay crisp and well-defined.
