A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly soft in the shoulders and bowls, while stems and serifs stay sturdy, giving the face a dark, even typographic color. Proportions feel balanced and traditional: capitals are wide and stable, lowercase is compact with clear counters, and spacing reads open enough for continuous text without looking airy. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and extenders, matching the text-oriented construction.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a consistent texture and traditional serif cues support comfortable scanning. It also fits academic and institutional documents, reports, and headings that need a conservative, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and trustworthy, with a distinctly literary, print-forward feel. Its sturdy serifs and measured contrast suggest formality and authority without becoming ornamental or delicate.
Designed to serve as a general-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, readable counters, and moderate contrast prioritize clarity and a dependable page color. The use of oldstyle numerals and restrained detailing points to an intention of seamless integration in book and editorial typography.
Details like the two-storey forms in the lowercase and the emphatic, slightly tapered serifs contribute to a familiar reading texture. The capitals have a restrained presence suitable for headings, while the lowercase maintains a calm, even cadence in paragraphs.
