A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a calm, even texture. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned with clean, slightly tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows open bowls and clear apertures that keep paragraphs readable. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are crisp, and spacing appears measured, producing a steady rhythm in continuous text. Numerals are lining and integrate cleanly with the cap height, with clear, traditional forms.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support headings and pull quotes when a sober, established tone is needed, especially in print-oriented designs.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial seriousness that feels composed rather than decorative. Its restrained detailing and familiar proportions suggest trustworthiness and a bookish, institutional character.
Designed to provide a familiar, dependable text serif for comfortable reading, emphasizing balanced proportions, controlled contrast, and conventional forms that perform consistently in paragraph settings.
The sample text shows a stable baseline and consistent color at larger sizes, with enough contrast to feel refined without turning delicate. Distinctive classic letterforms (notably in the two-storey "a" and "g") reinforce a traditional reading experience.
