A conventional text serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, with a steady rhythm and moderate proportions that keep counters open and readable. The lowercase shows a double-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a gently earred “g,” while the numerals are evenly weighted with traditional forms and clear differentiation. Overall spacing feels measured and even, supporting continuous reading and paragraph texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits academic and institutional materials, reports, and other print-forward typography that benefits from a formal, established voice.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, authoritative presence. Its high-contrast detailing and traditional serif structure convey formality and editorial polish without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for comfortable text setting, pairing familiar letterforms with crisp contrast and restrained detailing to produce an elegant, workhorse reading face.
Capitals present a dignified, slightly monumental feel, while the lowercase remains practical and steady for running text. Terminals and serifs add a subtle calligraphic flavor that gives the face a refined, print-oriented character.
