A conventional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and sturdy, even color on the page. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into serifs, and the curves are generous and well-rounded, giving counters a calm, open feel. Proportions lean a bit broad in capitals, while lowercase forms read steady and familiar, with a two-storey “a” and “g” and clear, vertical stress in rounded letters. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and descenders that integrate naturally with running text.
This design is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where consistent texture and clear letterforms support comfortable scanning. It also fits formal documents, reports, and print-heavy brand systems that benefit from a classic serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, projecting an editorial, bookish voice. It feels authoritative without being sharp or overly mannered, leaning toward a dependable, established look suited to serious reading.
The font appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif that balances traditional proportions with a solid, contemporary production feel. Its moderate contrast and familiar lettershapes suggest a focus on dependable paragraph typography and a neutral, credible voice.
