A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderately modulated strokes. The letterforms show sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and a slightly compact, text-oriented build that keeps counters clear without feeling airy. Curves terminate cleanly, and the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey “g,” a compact “e,” and a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals appear firm and evenly weighted, giving the face a stable, print-like texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also fits academic or institutional materials, reports, and other print-first contexts that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, established voice typical of traditional reading faces. It feels trustworthy and conservative rather than expressive, projecting authority and editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: conservative forms, balanced proportions, and consistent detailing aimed at readability and a familiar typographic presence.
In the sample text, spacing and color create an even, cohesive block suitable for continuous reading, with capitals that sit confidently without overpowering the lowercase. The serifs and joins read as crisp at display sizes while still looking designed for sustained text settings.
