A conventional serif with bracketed terminals, moderate stroke modulation, and steady, print-like rhythm. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with crisp serifs and smooth joins; curves are round but not overly soft. Lowercase shows a traditional text structure with a double-storey “a,” a two-storey “g” with a pronounced ear, and compact, sturdy stems. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a flowing, text-oriented feel.
Well-suited for body text in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It should also work comfortably for academic documents, reports, and other long-form reading, with enough presence for headings when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, leaning toward formal and literary. It conveys credibility and restraint rather than display personality, making it feel familiar and editorial in character.
Designed to function as a reliable, traditional text face: familiar letterforms, balanced modulation, and conventional serif construction aimed at comfortable reading and typographic neutrality.
Spacing looks open and even, supporting continuous reading, while details like the sturdy crossbars and clearly articulated serifs help keep forms distinct at text sizes. The sample text shows a calm, consistent color across lines with a slightly calligraphic, traditional texture.
