A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke contrast, showing a steady, bookish rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Curves are round and open, with softly tapered terminals and clear entry/exit strokes that suggest a calligraphic influence without becoming ornate. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with a comfortable x-height and well-defined counters; numerals and capitals sit with a stable, text-oriented color on the page.
Well-suited to body copy in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where an even, familiar serif voice aids sustained reading. It can also support headings and subheads when a conventional, authoritative typographic tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking conventional print typography and editorial restraint. It reads as mature and reliable, with enough refinement to feel polished while remaining approachable for longer passages.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: classic proportions, controlled contrast, and conventional detailing aimed at clarity and comfortable reading in continuous text.
Uppercase forms present confident, symmetrical silhouettes, while the lowercase shows gentle modulation and a slightly lively texture in letters like a, g, and y. The figures are clear and traditional in style, maintaining consistent serif treatment and weight distribution that supports paragraph setting.
