A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a calm, even rhythm across lines. Strokes show noticeable but moderate contrast with smooth transitions into the serifs, giving counters a clean, open feel without becoming razor-thin. Proportions are balanced and readable: capitals are stately and stable, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward structure with gently modulated curves and clear terminals. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a more text-friendly, running-figure texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and steady paragraph color are priorities. It also fits formal documents and report-style typography, and can scale up comfortably for headings that want a traditional, print-oriented presence.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking familiar printed typography and editorial credibility. It reads as composed and slightly formal rather than playful, suited to content that benefits from authority and clarity.
The design appears intended as a familiar, versatile text serif that prioritizes legibility and an established, classical tone. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals suggest a focus on comfortable continuous reading and refined editorial texture.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The design favors smooth, classical shaping over high-drama contrast, producing a dependable page color in paragraph settings.
