A conventional serif with clear, bracketed serifs and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with largely vertical stress, producing crisp joins and confident terminals without feeling delicate. Proportions lean slightly condensed in many capitals, while counters remain open and legible; curves are smooth and controlled rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact bowls, and firm, squared serifs that keep the texture even across lines.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a stable texture and clear word shapes matter. It can also support headlines and subheads in print or web contexts when a traditional serif voice is desired, and performs reliably for documents that mix text with numerals.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, evoking familiar book and newspaper typography. It feels composed and authoritative, with a slightly robust, no-nonsense presence that suits serious or informational settings.
Likely intended as a versatile, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while retaining a classic, print-rooted character.
The caps have a strong, upright stance and prominent serifs that give headings a structured look. Numerals appear lining and similarly serifed, matching the text color and maintaining consistency in mixed alphanumeric settings.
