A traditional serif with bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a steady, bookish rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, rounded joins, and open counters that keep letters clear at text sizes. The lowercase has compact, readable forms with a two-storey “a” and “g,” short-to-moderate ascenders, and unobtrusive serifs that guide the eye along the line. Capitals are proportioned for text rather than display, with restrained detailing and consistent spacing across the alphabet and figures.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, editorial layouts, and magazine text where an even gray value and familiar serif cues support comfort and clarity. It also fits academic and business documents that benefit from a conventional, authoritative typographic voice, and works for headings when set with a modest increase in size and tracking.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a composed, institutional confidence typical of familiar print typography. Its restrained detailing reads as serious and dependable rather than decorative, lending a quietly formal voice to long-form content.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality while retaining a subtly classical, oldstyle-informed character. Its moderate contrast and restrained serifs suggest it’s built to perform consistently across paragraphs, captions, and mixed text-and-numeral settings.
Figures appear lining and well-integrated with the capitals, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., 0 vs. O) through proportion and internal space. Curves (C, O, S) are generous and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X) keep crisp, controlled endpoints that maintain an even texture in setting.
