A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. The capitals are proportionally balanced and slightly wide, with clean joins and restrained detailing; terminals are mostly horizontal or softly angled rather than decorative. Lowercase forms are compact and orderly with clear counters, a two-storey “g,” and sturdy vertical stems, giving the face a composed, readable texture in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same sober construction, with lining figures that sit evenly and maintain consistent weight distribution.
Well suited to long-form text such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where consistent texture and comfortable readability are priorities. It also fits academic and professional documents, print collateral, and headings that need a restrained, conventional serif voice without becoming overly ornate.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that feels familiar and dependable. It suggests established print typography—measured, calm, and slightly formal—without leaning into overtly ornamental or quirky gestures.
The design appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose text serif: conservative in structure, optimized for steady reading, and built to feel at home in traditional publishing and formal communication.
In the text sample, spacing and rhythm read as controlled and even, producing a smooth grayscale suitable for continuous reading. The design maintains clarity through distinct letterforms and stable proportions, keeping emphasis on legibility rather than personality-driven styling.
