A conventional serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes. Curves are round and full, with moderate aperture sizes and a steady, even rhythm across text. Capitals feel proportionally broad and stable, while lowercase forms show traditional oldstyle tendencies—rounded joins, a two-storey “g,” and a gently slanted stress in bowls. Terminals are clean and slightly tapered, and spacing reads comfortable rather than tight, supporting continuous reading.
Well suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits academic and professional documents, reports, and institutional communications, and can support headings or pull quotes when set larger for a classic, authoritative emphasis.
The font communicates a traditional, scholarly tone with a quiet authority. Its familiar book-serif shapes and restrained contrast suggest editorial seriousness and long-form readability rather than display eccentricity. Overall, it feels conservative, dependable, and suited to content that benefits from a classic typographic voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiarity and readability. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and traditional lowercase construction aim to produce an even typographic color and a timeless tone across longer passages.
Numerals appear lining and sturdy, with clear, open counters (notably in 6, 8, 9) and strong baseline presence. The “Q” uses a clear tail, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharply drawn without becoming spiky. The text sample shows consistent color and smooth paragraph texture at larger sizes, indicating balanced sidebearings and stable proportions across mixed-case setting.
