A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a compact overall footprint. The letterforms show softened joins and gently rounded terminals, with sturdy verticals and subtly tapered curves that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Uppercase proportions are restrained and slightly condensed, while the lowercase keeps familiar, readable shapes (double-storey a and g) and a clear, well-modeled set of figures that align comfortably with the text rhythm.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, magazines, essays, and other editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also serve for headings and subheads when a traditional, print-like presence is needed without looking overly ornate.
The tone is traditional and bookish, leaning formal and editorial rather than decorative. Its measured contrast and rounded detailing lend a calm, authoritative voice with a subtle warmth typical of classic print typography.
Designed to provide a dependable, classic serif voice for general-purpose typography, prioritizing legibility and an even text color over expressive idiosyncrasies. The shapes aim for a timeless, literature-forward feel that stays comfortable across extended passages.
The italics are not shown; the sample indicates steady spacing and a consistent baseline color in continuous text. Numerals follow the same serifed, moderately contrasted construction, maintaining continuity with the letters.
