A conventional serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and moderately modulated strokes. The letterforms show soft, slightly rounded joins and terminals rather than sharp, brittle edges, giving the design a smooth, print-like texture. Capitals are broad and steady with clear verticals, while the lowercase maintains open counters and an even rhythm; the serif treatment stays consistent across the set. Numerals appear traditional and include oldstyle forms with noticeable ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a bookish, text-first feel.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and academic or legal-style documents where a traditional serif voice is expected. It can also support branding and communications that aim for heritage, credibility, and clear readability in headlines and subheads.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a calm authority suited to established institutions and traditional publishing. Its softened details keep it approachable and readable, avoiding an overly strict or high-fashion impression.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes sustained readability and a familiar typographic voice. Its softened serif shaping and traditional figures suggest a focus on comfortable reading and classic editorial styling rather than display experimentation.
In text, the spacing and color read stable and even, and the moderate contrast helps preserve clarity at typical reading sizes. The mix of robust capitals and a comfortable lowercase creates a familiar, workhorse texture for long passages.
