A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and sturdy, bookish proportions. Curves are smooth and open, with subtly flared terminals and a steady vertical stress that keeps the texture even in paragraph settings. The lowercase shows classic text-serif construction (notably a two-storey “a” and two-storey “g”), with clear joins and a compact, readable footprint. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights, reinforcing an editorial, text-oriented color.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazines where an even rhythm and conventional serif cues support comfort and clarity. It also fits reports, institutional communications, and headings that benefit from a formal, established texture.
The overall tone feels traditional and composed, evoking printed books, academic writing, and established institutions. It reads as confident and familiar rather than expressive or experimental, giving text a dependable, serious voice.
The design appears intended as a versatile, classic text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality, drawing on familiar book-type models to perform reliably across continuous reading and everyday editorial typography.
Spacing and sidebearings look balanced in the sample, producing a consistent typographic gray without sharp sparkle. The capitals are stately and slightly wide in presence, pairing well with the more compact lowercase for clear hierarchy in headings and running text.
