A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The proportions are balanced with a steady, book-text rhythm and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes without becoming delicate. Curves are round and slightly organic, while terminals often finish with small wedges that keep the texture crisp. Capitals feel sturdy and stately; lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a two-storey “g” and a slightly angled ear, and a “y” with a pronounced descending tail. Numerals show traditional forms, including an open-top “4” and a curving “2,” matching the text color of the letters.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture improves readability. It also fits reports, academic material, and other formal documents that benefit from a conventional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed pages, editorial authority, and long-form reading. Its serif detail and moderate contrast convey formality without feeling ornate, keeping the voice dependable and familiar.
Designed to deliver a familiar, reliable text serif with strong readability and a classic print voice. The moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim for comfortable continuous reading while preserving traditional typographic character.
The face maintains a consistent dark color in running text, with smooth spacing and a stable baseline. Serifs and joins are softly bracketed rather than sharp, giving the shapes a slightly calligraphic warmth while retaining a clean, conventional finish.
