A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Letterforms are broad and steady, with open counters and a measured, bookish rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and slightly softened at joins, while horizontals and verticals maintain a calm, even presence. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, compact terminals, and consistent spacing that supports continuous reading; numerals align with the same restrained, text-oriented drawing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where an unobtrusive, classic serif texture is desired. It also fits headings and subheads in traditional branding, institutional documents, and formal invitations when a familiar, authoritative voice is appropriate.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, evoking printed books, academic materials, and institutional communications. Its restrained detailing and steady proportions convey seriousness and credibility rather than display-driven personality.
Designed to provide a dependable, conventional reading face with classic serif cues and a balanced text color. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and typographic neutrality, delivering a familiar, print-forward feel that works across a range of editorial contexts.
Text samples show good cohesion across mixed-case settings, with capitals that carry a dignified weight and lowercase that remains clear at paragraph scale. The ampersand and punctuation follow the same conservative, serifed treatment, supporting a cohesive, timeless texture.
