A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and moderate stroke contrast. Letterforms are upright and calmly proportioned, with sturdy vertical stems and gently tapered joins that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. The capitals show classical, inscriptional influence in their balanced widths and restrained detailing, while the lowercase maintains open counters and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are oldstyle-inclined in feel—rounded and text-friendly—matching the serif rhythm rather than a strictly geometric construction.
Well-suited to body copy in books, long-form editorial, and print or PDF reports where comfortable reading and a traditional tone are desired. It can also serve effectively in headings and subheads for publications that want a classic serif voice with clear structure.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, conveying credibility and a measured, editorial presence. Its restrained contrast and familiar proportions read as formal without feeling ornate, supporting a composed and authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar, readable, and stylistically conservative, aiming for versatility across extended reading and formal editorial contexts.
The serifs stay relatively sharp and compact, helping the font hold up at smaller sizes while still giving headlines a refined edge. Spacing and rhythm appear consistent across the alphabet, producing a steady, readable typographic color in continuous text.
