A traditional serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into the stems. The letterforms show a balanced, text-oriented build: open apertures, steady vertical rhythm, and comfortably sized counters that keep paragraphs clear. Uppercase proportions feel stately without becoming display-like, while lowercase forms are compact and steady, with a two-storey “g” and gently curved terminals that add a subtle calligraphic finish. Numerals align with the same disciplined structure, reading clearly with classic, proportional shapes.
Well suited to extended reading in books and editorial layouts, where its conventional proportions and clear counters maintain legibility over long passages. It also fits academic and institutional documents, reports, and other contexts that benefit from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, conveying editorial authority and a quietly formal presence. It suggests heritage printing and literary composition rather than overt branding spectacle, with a refined seriousness that suits long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity. Its measured contrast and carefully bracketed serifs aim to deliver a refined page texture for professional publishing and formal communication.
Serif details are consistent across the set, with smooth joins and a restrained elegance rather than sharp, high-contrast drama. The spacing in the sample text appears even and comfortable, supporting continuous reading with a calm, regular color.
