A conventional serif with bracketed, gently cupped serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The design feels sturdy and readable, with relatively open apertures and round counters that stay clear in the sample paragraph. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional text-face construction, including a two-storey a and g and a compact, rhythmic texture. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, mixing ascenders and descenders and blending smoothly with lowercase text.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and editorial layouts where continuous reading comfort matters. It also fits reports, academic material, and other text-forward applications that benefit from a classic serif texture and steady rhythm.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a calm, authoritative presence typical of long-form reading and editorial typography. Its measured contrast and familiar serif detailing project reliability and a quietly formal voice without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiarity, readability, and a polished editorial feel across both display sizes and paragraph settings.
Serif terminals are consistently bracketed rather than sharp, helping the face maintain a smooth flow across lines. The italics are not shown; the displayed style emphasizes steady spacing, clear word shapes, and a balanced color in paragraph settings.
