A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and softly modulated strokes. The letterforms show rounded terminals and gentle, calligraphic shaping in curves, paired with stable vertical stems and a comfortable, open rhythm in text. Uppercase proportions are fairly broad with prominent serifs, while lowercase forms read clearly with moderate counters; the overall texture is even and steady rather than sharp or high-strung.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits reports, formal communications, and other text-forward applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The tone is traditional and bookish, evoking printed literature and institutional communication. Its measured contrast and familiar serif detailing give it a dependable, authoritative voice that feels composed and quietly elegant.
The design appears intended as a reliable, general-purpose text serif that balances traditional proportions with restrained stroke modulation. Its consistent detailing and calm paragraph color suggest an emphasis on clarity and durability in everyday publishing contexts.
Numerals appear lining and clearly differentiated, with classic serif details and smooth curves that match the text alphabet. Spacing in the sample text produces a solid paragraph color, suggesting a design aimed at continuous reading rather than display eccentricity.
