A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a moderate stroke modulation that stays calm and even in running text. Capitals are stately and fairly wide with crisp terminals, while lowercase forms show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle-leaning construction: rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a compact “e” with a modest eye. The joins and curves are smoothly tensioned, counters remain open, and spacing feels measured, giving paragraphs a steady, bookish rhythm without looking overly sharp or mannered.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine or newspaper-style editorial layouts. It also fits institutional communications—reports, academic materials, and formal correspondence—where a familiar serif voice and stable texture are desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking editorial and academic typography. Its restrained contrast and familiar proportions convey authority and readability, with a subtle warmth that keeps it from feeling austere.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a traditional print-like color. Its moderate modulation and bracketed serifs aim to provide a classic voice that stays unobtrusive across paragraphs and headings.
Figures appear lining and well-aligned, with clear differentiation between similar shapes; the “0” is round and the “1” has a serifed top and base, aiding legibility. Punctuation and ampersand feel classic rather than decorative, supporting straightforward text setting.
