A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Strokes are predominantly low-contrast with gentle modulation, producing an even color in paragraphs. The proportions are balanced and moderately wide, with open counters and a calm, steady rhythm; capitals read stately while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike texture. Numerals are lining and integrate cleanly with the cap height, with clear, simple forms suited to continuous reading.
Well-suited to body copy in books, long-form editorial layouts, and publication design where a familiar serif texture supports readability. It also fits reports, academic materials, and general-purpose print or PDF typography where a traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness rather than display flair. Its restrained detailing and familiar shapes convey trust, tradition, and a slightly academic voice, making it feel comfortable in long-form settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose reading face: conservative letterforms, moderate proportions, and restrained contrast aimed at producing a stable paragraph color. Its choices favor clarity and typographic neutrality while retaining classic serif character.
Round letters show controlled, near-vertical stress, and joins are kept clean without pronounced quirks. The lowercase includes traditional text-serif cues such as a two-storey “a” and compact, readable forms that prioritize clarity over personality.
