A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Capitals are broad and confident with crisp terminals and slightly flared joins, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and counters. The design favors even color on the page: verticals are firm, curves are smoothly drawn, and spacing reads comfortable in continuous text. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and descenders, reinforcing the typeface’s text-first character.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial typography, and academic or institutional documents where a familiar serif texture supports sustained reading. It can also serve for headlines and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired without high-contrast drama.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, formal feel associated with traditional publishing. It communicates authority without feeling ornate, lending a calm, established voice to long-form reading and editorial settings.
The design intention appears to prioritize dependable readability and typographic familiarity, aiming for a timeless text serif that performs predictably across paragraphs, headings, and mixed-case settings.
Details such as the ear on the “g,” the angled leg of “R,” and the flowing tail on “Q” contribute subtle personality while staying within a restrained, conventional framework. The sample text shows strong readability at larger display-text sizes, with consistent serif behavior and stable baseline alignment.
