A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and moderately modulated strokes. The letterforms are compact and evenly proportioned, with clear vertical stress and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and restrained, while lowercase forms show familiar book-face structures such as a two-storey “a” and “g,” plus rounded bowls and clean, relatively small apertures. Numerals align with the same sober construction, with distinct shapes and stable spacing that reads consistently in continuous text.
This face is well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where an unobtrusive, familiar serif helps sustain comfort. It can also serve effectively in academic or institutional documents, reports, and general-purpose print or PDF text settings.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established publishing conventions rather than display experimentation. It feels formal and dependable, with a quiet authority suited to information and long-form reading.
The design intention appears to prioritize conventional readability and typographic neutrality, offering a traditional serif voice that supports content without drawing attention to stylistic quirks.
Serif terminals remain crisp and controlled, avoiding exaggerated wedges or slab-like mass. The design maintains an even color across words in the sample text, with punctuation and capitals integrating smoothly into paragraphs.
