A conventional serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The capitals are broad and stately with classical proportions, while the lowercase shows a gently oldstyle structure with rounded bowls, soft joins, and a compact, readable rhythm. Curves are smooth and weight is distributed evenly, giving counters a stable, open feel without looking airy. Numerals and punctuation follow the same solid, text-first construction, reading confidently at paragraph sizes.
Well suited for continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady text color is desirable. It also fits formal communication such as reports, programs, and institutional materials, and can support headlines when a traditional, authoritative voice is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, conveying authority and familiarity rather than novelty. It feels established and trustworthy, suited to content where clarity and gravitas matter. The serif detailing and calm contrast suggest an editorial, academic character.
This appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions and comfortable reading texture. The design choices emphasize continuity, stability, and a classic typographic voice for everyday publishing.
The design favors robust shapes and clear terminals, with a restrained, non-calligraphic flavor. It maintains a consistent texture across mixed-case settings, and the heavier side of the regular weight helps it hold up in dense text blocks and on bright backgrounds.
