A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with clear wedge-and-bracket terminals and crisp joins. Lowercase forms are compact and controlled with rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a two-storey “g,” while the “e” has a relatively small aperture that reinforces a conventional, print-like texture. Numerals sit comfortably with the letters, showing familiar, text-style proportions and clear differentiation between forms.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, reports, and other longform editorial settings where a stable text color and familiar serif forms support comfortable legibility. It can also serve in formal documents and academic materials that benefit from a traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking conventional book typography and editorial standards. Its measured contrast and conservative detailing project reliability and formality rather than playfulness or overt stylization.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes conventional proportions, consistent rhythm, and comfortable readability in paragraph typography.
Spacing and sidebearings appear even, producing a consistent gray value in paragraphs. Serifs remain present but not heavy, and the design avoids extreme contrast or exaggerated calligraphic flair, keeping the texture calm and predictable across lines of text.
