A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and an even, readable rhythm. The capitals are proportioned with restrained width and crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with rounded joins and clear counters. Serifs are finely tapered rather than slab-like, and the overall color on the page stays steady across lines of text. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights), blending smoothly with lowercase in running copy.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits reports, academic documents, and other professional text settings that benefit from a conservative, trustworthy typographic voice.
The tone is classic and bookish, projecting a calm, established voice associated with print publishing. It reads as formal without feeling ornate, making it suitable for serious, text-forward communication.
Designed to provide a dependable, traditional reading experience with recognizable letterforms and balanced contrast, aiming for clarity and neutrality in extended text rather than display-driven personality.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and a stable baseline presence, with distinctive traditional details such as a looped, descending “g” and a gently curved “Q” tail. The italic is not shown; all examples present an upright roman style.
