A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even rhythm. Proportions lean open and comfortably wide, with clear counters and a calm vertical emphasis. The serifs are finely shaped rather than slab-like, and terminals are mostly crisp, giving the letterforms a clean print-oriented finish. Numerals align well with the text color and share the same disciplined contrast and serif treatment.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also fits formal documents, reports, and academic or institutional materials that benefit from a stable, established typographic tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, trustworthy presence. It reads as familiar and authoritative—suited to content-forward typography rather than overt display styling.
Designed to provide a familiar, highly legible serif for continuous reading, balancing traditional formality with practical clarity in paragraph settings.
Capital forms are stately and evenly spaced, while lowercase shapes maintain clarity in dense text. The overall texture remains consistent across mixed-case settings, supporting long passages without becoming either overly delicate or heavy.
