A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation, showing clear vertical stress and confident, upright construction. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with a restrained, bookish rhythm and sturdy hairline-to-stem transitions. Lowercase forms are compact and familiar, with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a robust, slightly narrowed “e” and “s,” contributing to steady text color. Numerals are lining and well-aligned, with strong verticals and classic proportions that sit comfortably alongside the capitals.
This font is well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts, academic materials, and formal reports. It can also serve effectively for headings and captions when a classic, institutional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is conventional and authoritative, leaning toward classic editorial and academic typography. Its sober, established demeanor feels suited to content where trust, clarity, and tradition are emphasized rather than novelty.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: familiar letterforms, controlled contrast, and bracketed serifs work together to produce an even, readable texture in paragraphs while retaining a formal, traditional presence.
Counters are open enough to hold up at text sizes, while the serifs remain distinct and crisp, giving paragraphs a structured baseline and consistent horizontal rhythm. The glyphs show a measured, conservative shaping that prioritizes readability and familiarity over stylistic flourish.
