A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, readable rhythm. Capitals are proportioned and slightly formal, with clean, tapered terminals and no exaggerated flaring. Lowercase forms are compact and orderly, with a two-storey “a” and a double-storey “g,” and generally rounded bowls that keep counters open. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, showing clear differentiation (notably the open “4” and smooth, rounded “8”), and overall spacing feels even and text-oriented.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where consistent texture and clear word shapes are priorities. It can also support formal communication—reports, essays, and institutional materials—where a traditional serif voice is expected.
The tone is classic and dependable, evoking traditional book typography and editorial conventions. It reads as composed and authoritative without feeling ornate, making it suitable for content-forward settings where neutrality and clarity matter.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, stable spacing, and an even typographic color for comfortable reading.
Serifs and joins are softly bracketed rather than sharp, helping the face maintain a smooth texture at paragraph sizes. Curved letters like C, O, and S show controlled contrast and restrained curvature, reinforcing a calm, conventional presence.
