A refined text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The proportions are balanced and fairly open, with round forms that stay controlled and slightly narrow counters in places, giving a crisp, editorial rhythm. Terminals are clean and conventional, and the overall drawing stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, favoring clarity over ornament.
Well suited to editorial and publishing work such as books, long-form articles, journals, and reports. It also fits institutional and professional materials—academic writing, legal or business documents, and corporate communications—where a traditional serif voice supports authority and legibility.
This typeface conveys a classic, literary tone with a composed, confident voice. It feels traditional and cultured rather than attention-seeking, projecting credibility and restraint suitable for formal communication.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for continuous reading and formal typographic settings. Its restrained detailing, steady spacing, and conventional shapes suggest a focus on comfortable text color and familiar letterforms that hold up across a range of sizes.
The sample text shows even texture and stable word shapes, with capitals that pair cleanly with the lowercase for mixed-case setting. Figures appear lining and proportioned to blend with text, supporting straightforward typographic composition.
