A classic serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned with smooth curves and crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influence through a two-storey “a,” open counters, and a slightly calligraphic flow. Serifs are tapered rather than slabby, with moderate bracketing and clean joins that keep letterforms articulate at text sizes. Numerals appear lining and proportioned, with traditional shapes (notably the curved “2” and open “4”) that align visually with the capitals.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif texture and clear word shapes are important. It can also support formal communication pieces—reports, programs, and brand typography that needs a traditional, trustworthy voice—especially in print and high-resolution settings.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and editorial authority. It reads as dependable and cultivated rather than trendy, with a quiet elegance suited to serious content.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, balancing traditional detailing with clean, contemporary drawing for consistent paragraph color. The letterforms prioritize familiar structure and steady cadence over display eccentricity.
Curves are generously drawn (especially in C, G, O, and S), giving a smooth texture, while verticals retain enough firmness to keep paragraphs from looking soft. Spacing and proportions feel even, producing a calm, familiar page color in continuous text.
