A traditional text serif with moderate stroke modulation and firmly bracketed serifs that taper toward wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a steady, even rhythm with open counters and clear internal spaces, helping the face stay readable at text sizes. Proportions lean slightly tall, with relatively short ascenders compared to the prominent x-height and sturdy vertical stems; rounds are smooth and controlled, and joins are clean rather than calligraphically exuberant. Numerals are well-proportioned and stable, matching the text color of the alphabet and maintaining consistent serif treatment and contrast.
Well-suited to long-form body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, classic serif texture is desirable. It can also serve in reports, academic materials, and general-purpose print or digital reading environments that benefit from familiar letterforms and clear differentiation.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking book typography, editorial seriousness, and institutional clarity. It feels dependable and familiar, with enough refinement in the serifs and contrast to read as polished without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif for continuous reading, balancing traditional proportions and serif detailing with a clean, modern regularity. Its consistent rhythm and restrained styling suggest a focus on dependable text setting across a range of sizes and paragraph densities.
The design maintains a consistent texture across mixed-case settings, with capitals that sit confidently above the lowercase without overpowering it. Terminals and serifs are restrained and tidy, supporting long-form reading and dense copy while still looking crisp in headings.
