A conventional serif with gently bracketed serifs and subtly calligraphic stroke modulation. Curves are round and open with smooth joins, while terminals are mostly sheared or lightly flared rather than blunt. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and steady, with a moderate cap height and clear vertical stress in round letters. The lowercase shows a two-storey “g” and a compact, readable rhythm; apertures in letters like “e” and “c” stay open, and the overall spacing reads even and text-ready.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support institutional materials—reports, academic documents, and formal communications—where clarity and convention are priorities.
The tone is familiar and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its restrained contrast and balanced detailing project a calm, trustworthy formality without feeling ornate.
The design appears aimed at a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar print tradition. Details are refined but conservative, supporting continuous reading and a composed typographic voice.
Figures are serifed and align comfortably with the text color, with the “0” appearing oval and the “1” carrying a clear top serif. Diacritics and punctuation aren’t shown here, but the sample text suggests consistent word spacing and a stable line texture at reading sizes.
