A conventional serif with bracketed, triangular wedge serifs and clearly modulated strokes. The proportions feel comfortably wide with generous interior counters, and the curves are smooth and even, giving the design a calm, readable rhythm. Terminals tend to be gently tapered rather than blunt, and joins are clean, producing a polished text face that stays crisp at display sizes. The roman has stable, vertical posture, with well-balanced caps and a lowercase that maintains clear differentiation among similar forms.
Well-suited for continuous reading in books, essays, and magazines where an even typographic color and clear forms matter. It also works effectively for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal documents that need a traditional serif voice without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that reads as trustworthy and established. Its restrained contrast and tidy finishing convey formality without becoming ornate, suggesting a quiet, institutional confidence.
Likely intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes clarity and steady rhythm, while preserving classic letterform conventions and a refined, print-oriented finish.
Numerals appear lining and proportionally aligned with the capitals, maintaining the same serifed, slightly tapered construction. The sample text shows consistent spacing and an even color on the page, supporting long-form readability while still carrying enough detail for headings.
