A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced thick–thin stroke contrast. Curves are smoothly drawn with a slightly calligraphic stress, while vertical stems remain crisp and steady. Proportions feel traditional and moderately compact, with generous counters in letters like C, G, O, and e, supporting clarity at text sizes. The lowercase shows familiar book-face traits—two-storey a and g, a compact e with a defined eye, and a sturdy, readable rhythm—while capitals are stately with balanced widths and clean, restrained detailing.
This face is well suited to continuous reading in books, reports, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative tone is needed, especially in print and PDF typography.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its contrast and refined serifs lend a formal, authoritative voice without feeling ornamental. The texture reads composed and traditional, suitable for sober, information-forward settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a polished, classical page color. Its combination of high contrast, bracketed serifs, and restrained proportions suggests a focus on timeless editorial utility rather than display novelty.
Numerals appear lining with clear, sturdy forms, including an open-top 4 and a curved 2 and 3 that echo the serifed, high-contrast style. The ampersand is compact and traditional, and punctuation maintains the same sharp, consistent serif vocabulary, helping paragraphs look cohesive.
