A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderately modulated strokes. The letterforms are broad and open, with generous interior counters and a steady, even rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and joins feel sturdy rather than delicate. Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase shows familiar text-serif construction with a two-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and straightforward, readable figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open counters and steady spacing support comfortable text flow. It also performs nicely for traditional headlines, section heads, and formal communications that benefit from a familiar, established serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, leaning toward bookish and editorial. Its crisp serifs and calm proportions convey authority and clarity without feeling ornamental or overly dramatic.
Designed to provide a dependable, general-purpose text serif with a classic silhouette and clear, disciplined detailing. The broad proportions and restrained contrast suggest an emphasis on readability and typographic neutrality for editorial systems.
Caps have a dignified presence and a relatively wide stance, helping headlines feel solid and evenly paced. Numerals appear clear and conventional, with rounded forms that match the font’s measured contrast and crisp finishing.
