A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke that reads cleanly at text sizes. Proportions are balanced with a straightforward, upright stance and a calm baseline rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are mostly blunt or gently finished, and counters remain open for legibility. Overall spacing feels even, supporting continuous reading in paragraphs while still giving capitals a composed, slightly stately presence.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and other editorial settings where a familiar serif texture supports long reading. It also works for reports, academic materials, and any layout that benefits from a traditional, dependable typographic voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—measured, reliable, and slightly formal. It feels familiar in the way of traditional print typography, suggesting editorial seriousness rather than display eccentricity.
The design intention appears to prioritize classic readability and typographic neutrality: a serif that blends into text while maintaining a polished, professional finish and a historically informed silhouette.
Uppercase forms appear stable and restrained, while the lowercase keeps a readable, conventional texture with clearly differentiated shapes. Numerals match the text color well and sit comfortably alongside letters without calling attention to themselves.
