A conventional serif with bracketed terminals and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a steady, bookish rhythm with slightly compact proportions and sturdy verticals, while curves transition smoothly into stems. Serifs are clearly articulated but not heavy, giving the shapes a crisp, composed edge; counters stay open and the overall texture reads even across lines of text. Numerals appear text-oriented (oldstyle-style) with varied heights and more calligraphic movement than lining figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading in print and digital layouts where an even text color and clear serif cues aid scanning. It fits book interiors, essays, reports, and magazine articles, and can also serve for headings when a traditional, reliable tone is desired.
The tone is traditional and composed, evoking familiar book typography and institutional print. It feels authoritative without being ornate, supporting a sober, editorial voice rather than a decorative one.
Designed to function as a dependable text serif: balanced contrast, familiar proportions, and restrained details aim for comfortable reading and a classic typographic voice across continuous prose.
Lowercase forms lean toward classical detailing, including a two-storey ‘g’ and a readable, looped ‘a’, contributing to a mature, print-centric character. The ampersand and punctuation carry the same restrained, transitional flavor, keeping emphasis on legibility and continuity in paragraphs.
