A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, a moderate-to-high stroke contrast, and softly calligraphic modulation. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals while the lowercase stays compact with clear, open counters and a steady rhythm. Terminals are mostly tapered and gently cupped, with a two-storey “g,” a compact “a,” and classic figures that mix round forms with angled, serifed strokes. Overall spacing reads even and text-oriented, with crisp joins and a controlled, bookish texture in paragraph settings.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and bracketed serifs create a familiar, comfortable text color. It also fits reports, academic documents, and other professional typography that benefits from a conservative, trustworthy serif voice.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone—measured, literate, and quietly formal. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast add a sense of authority and craftsmanship without becoming decorative.
Designed to function as a dependable, conventional serif for continuous reading, balancing crisp detail with a calm, regular rhythm. The shaping suggests an aim for classic print sensibility and strong typographic neutrality in body text.
Capital forms show clear classical construction (notably in C, G, and Q), while the lowercase maintains legibility through sturdy stems and restrained apertures. Numerals appear lining with traditional serif details, supporting consistent alignment in text and simple tables.
