A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderately modulated strokes, and a calm, bookish rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, with a high A apex and a smooth, rounded C/G that keep the texture even. Lowercase forms show compact proportions and tight apertures in places (notably in e and s), with a two-storey g and a brisk, lightly hooked ear. Numerals are lining and well-balanced, with a gently curved 2 and an open 4 that read cleanly alongside the text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively in formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, reputable feel.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward editorial and academic typography. Its controlled contrast and crisp finishing give it a polished, trustworthy voice suited to serious reading and formal communication.
Designed to provide a familiar, readable serif voice with balanced modulation and conservative detailing, aiming for dependable text performance and a timeless, print-oriented presence.
The italic is not shown; the presented style maintains a consistent, upright stance with clear baseline discipline. Word shapes in the sample paragraph remain stable at larger sizes, with a slightly dignified spacing that favors clarity over compactness.
