A refined text serif with bracketed serifs and moderately tapered strokes that create a steady, book-oriented rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with clear classical structure and smooth curves, while the lowercase maintains open counters and a tidy, even color. Serifs are crisp without becoming sharp, and terminals feel controlled and conventional rather than ornamental. Figures appear lining and well-aligned to the cap height, with straightforward, readable forms.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is preferred. It also fits formal communication—reports, academic materials, and institutional documents—where a conventional, trustworthy tone is important.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting editorial seriousness and institutional credibility. Its restrained detailing and familiar proportions convey a scholarly, literary character rather than a trendy or expressive voice.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, conventional serif for comfortable reading, balancing crisp serifs and moderate stroke modulation to maintain clarity in paragraphs while still feeling traditionally crafted.
In continuous text the type stays calm and legible, with clean joins and consistent spacing that supports paragraph reading. The italic is not shown, and the roman shown here favors clarity over display flair, making it feel dependable at a range of text sizes.
