A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, even rhythm. Capitals are stately and fairly wide with crisp terminals and clear, open counters (notably in C, G, and S), while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained forms and a straightforward construction. The italic is not shown; the style reads as upright with clean vertical stress, rounded joins, and consistent serif shaping across the alphabet. Numerals are lining and proportionate, with smooth curves and firm baseline presence.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, magazines, essays, and reports where a conventional serif texture is desired. It also fits formal communication—academic writing, institutional materials, and headings that need a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a calm, credible voice associated with editorial and institutional typography. It feels formal without becoming ornate, aiming for clarity and familiarity over display personality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability, familiar proportions, and a balanced typographic color for continuous reading.
The sample text shows stable color in paragraphs, with comfortable spacing and legible differentiation between similar shapes (such as I/J and O/0 in context). The serif detailing remains crisp at larger sizes, while the moderate contrast and open apertures support continuous reading.
