A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation, combining sturdy verticals with softly tapered joins. Capitals are proportioned with a reserved, classical stance, while the lowercase shows a compact, text-oriented build with rounded bowls and clear apertures. Terminals are generally blunt or gently cupped, and the overall drawing favors even color and steady rhythm over sharp flamboyance. Numerals align comfortably with the text style, with oldstyle-like curves and slightly varied widths that keep the texture lively.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where consistent typographic color and familiar letterforms are preferred. It can also support headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired, especially in academic or institutional materials.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, editorial voice that feels dependable and conventional. It conveys a formal, established character suited to reading-focused settings rather than expressive display.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for continuous text, prioritizing legibility, steady rhythm, and a familiar print-like texture. Its restrained detailing suggests an aim for broad utility across editorial and document typography.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The heavier, confident serifs and moderate contrast help maintain clarity at larger text sizes, while the slightly varied character widths add a subtle, traditional page texture.
