A sturdy serif with bracketed terminals, moderate stroke modulation, and a calm, even texture. The letterforms are relatively wide and open, with generous counters and softly rounded joins that keep the rhythm smooth in continuous text. Serifs are clearly defined but not sharp, and the overall drawing favors clarity over delicacy, with balanced proportions across capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited for body copy in books, long-form editorial layouts, and institutional documents where a classic serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and subheads when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The tone feels traditional and literary, evoking printed books and established editorial typography. Its measured contrast and confident serifs read as dependable and formal without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for consistent paragraph color and broad readability, offering a familiar, print-rooted voice with enough robustness to hold up across sizes in typical editorial settings.
Capitals present a stately presence with broad curves and stable verticals, while the lowercase maintains legibility through open apertures and straightforward, familiar shapes. Numerals appear old-style in spirit with a classic, text-friendly demeanor, contributing to an overall page-like color and steady reading flow.
