A conventional text serif with sturdy proportions and bracketed serifs, showing moderate stroke contrast and largely vertical stress. Curves are full and slightly squared at key joins, giving counters a stable, bookish solidity. Terminals are clean and restrained rather than calligraphic indicates, and the overall rhythm is even, with clear differentiation between rounded and straight forms. The lowercase shows a compact, readable build with a two-storey “g” and traditional serifed structures throughout, while numerals follow the same steady, print-oriented construction.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a composed, print-classic appearance.
The tone is classic and editorial, evoking printed books and established institutions. Its steady contrast and confident serifs read as serious and dependable, with enough softness in the curves to avoid feeling brittle or overly sharp.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: traditional in structure, consistent in rhythm, and optimized for comfortable reading while still carrying a formal, established character for titles and prominent typographic moments.
At display sizes the letterforms feel bold and authoritative, while the internal space remains open enough to keep paragraphs from looking clogged. The design favors familiar, time-tested shapes, prioritizing clarity and continuity across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
