A conventional serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a steady, bookish rhythm with relatively compact proportions and clear vertical stress. Counters are open and well-shaped, and the overall drawing favors clean, slightly sturdy stems with crisp terminals rather than delicate hairlines. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, and the italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
Well-suited to extended reading in print or screen contexts where a classic serif texture is desired—books, magazines, journals, and reports. It can also support headings and pull quotes when a formal, traditional atmosphere is appropriate.
The tone is traditional and composed, evoking familiar book typography and institutional print. It feels authoritative without becoming ornate, leaning toward a sober, editorial voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that delivers familiar, dependable readability and a classic typographic voice. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on balanced texture and versatile editorial performance rather than decorative expressiveness.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a consistent texture across words. The design avoids exaggerated features, prioritizing even color and predictable spacing over display flair.
