A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes. The letterforms show moderate contrast with rounded joins and gently tapered terminals, producing a smooth, bookish texture in text. Uppercase proportions feel broad and steady, with open counters and restrained detailing; lowercase forms are compact and well-balanced, with a traditional two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g” that adds warmth. Numerals follow the same text-oriented rhythm, with open shapes and modest stroke modulation.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where an even text texture and familiar serif forms support extended reading. It also fits reports, academic materials, and other contexts that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic presence.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking printed literature, academia, and established institutions. Its calm modulation and traditional detailing suggest seriousness and credibility without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, print-rooted text serif that prioritizes clarity and consistency over stylistic novelty. Its measured contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a comfortable reading experience while projecting an established, professional character.
Spacing appears comfortable in running text, creating an even color and a readable line rhythm. The serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, contributing to a cohesive, quietly traditional voice.
