A conventional serif design with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with a moderately large x-height and generous interior counters that keep lowercase forms readable. Curves are smooth and slightly soft at joins and terminals, while verticals remain firm, giving the face a calm, established texture in paragraph settings. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a descending 9 that adds a bookish, editorial flavor.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It can also serve effectively for headings and subheads in traditional layouts, especially when paired with straightforward page grids and generous leading.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a distinctly literary, print-forward character. It reads as traditional and trustworthy rather than flashy, suitable for settings where familiarity and clarity are valued.
Designed to provide a familiar, dependable serif voice for continuous text, balancing traditional proportions with enough openness and softness to remain comfortable at reading sizes.
Capitals are stately and evenly spaced, and the lowercase shows gently rounded shoulders and restrained detailing that avoids sharp, high-drama contrast. The italic is not shown; all samples presented are upright.
