A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a calm, even color in running text. The capitals are wide and open with softly tapered terminals and well-balanced proportions, while the lowercase shows a modest x-height and rounded bowls that read smoothly at text sizes. Details such as the two-storey “a” and “g,” a sturdy vertical stress, and the slightly calligraphic shaping of joins give it a traditional, book-oriented rhythm. Numerals follow the same understated modulation, with clear, classical forms and comfortable spacing.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also fits academic and institutional materials, as well as brand systems that need a conservative, established voice without looking heavy or ornate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed pages, editorial polish, and institutional formality. It feels composed and trustworthy rather than trendy, with a quiet refinement suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text face: familiar letterforms, moderate modulation, and balanced proportions prioritize readability and typographic neutrality. Its classical detailing suggests a goal of fitting seamlessly into editorial and print-centric settings.
Stroke endings and serifs stay restrained, avoiding exaggerated flare, which helps maintain clarity in paragraphs. The italics are not shown; the sample demonstrates a steady roman voice with consistent spacing and a measured, traditional cadence.
