A conventional serif with balanced proportions and a steady rhythm. Strokes show modest contrast with clear thick–thin modulation and crisply bracketed serifs that finish in small wedges. Curves are smooth and moderately compact, with mostly vertical stress and tidy joins. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with a double-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and compact, upright forms; caps are stately and evenly set with clean sidebearings.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an even texture and familiar serif forms help maintain comfort over long passages. It also fits reports, academic materials, and other professional documents that benefit from a traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking classic book typography and editorial restraint. It feels trustworthy and established rather than trendy, with a quiet formality that suits long-form reading and institutional communication.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: conservative letterforms, restrained contrast, and disciplined serif detailing prioritize clarity and a familiar reading experience.
Numerals align with the text color and share the same moderate contrast; they read clearly at display sizes without becoming overly stylized. The sample text shows consistent spacing and a stable baseline, giving paragraphs an even, print-like texture.
