A conventional serif design with compact proportions, bracketed wedge-like serifs, and moderate stroke modulation. The rhythm is even and text-oriented, with open interior spaces and a steady baseline presence. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed, while lowercase shows familiar oldstyle traits such as a two-storey “a,” compact “e,” and a “g” with a prominent ear, all contributing to a composed, readable texture.
It works well for body copy in editorial layouts, books, and other print-forward typography where a stable serif texture is desired. The slightly compact proportions also make it suitable for headlines, subheads, and captioning where space efficiency and classic tone are important.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a calm authority suited to long-form reading. It evokes established print typography—measured, trustworthy, and quietly formal—without leaning into decorative or contemporary gimmicks.
The design intention reads as a dependable, general-purpose text serif aimed at comfortable reading and traditional typography. Its restrained contrast and familiar construction prioritize clarity and consistency across continuous text and typical publishing needs.
Terminals are generally sharp and controlled, with a subtle calligraphic influence in curves and joins. Numerals appear lining with consistent weight and clear differentiation, supporting text settings and mixed alphanumeric content without drawing undue attention.
