A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a steady, bookish texture. Curves are round and controlled, joins are smooth, and counters are open enough to keep paragraphs readable at text sizes. The design favors traditional proportions: a moderate x-height, clear ascenders and descenders, and numerals that sit comfortably alongside the lowercase. Overall rhythm is even, with slightly varied character widths that create a natural, humanist spacing pattern rather than a rigid mechanical grid.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, editorial layouts, and magazines where an even color and conventional letterforms support sustained legibility. It also works for reports and academic or institutional materials that benefit from a conservative, established typographic voice.
The tone is classic and literary, with a quiet formality that feels at home in traditional publishing. It conveys trust and seriousness without looking sharp or overly ornate, giving text a familiar, established voice.
The font appears designed to provide a dependable, traditional serif for continuous text—prioritizing familiarity, balanced proportions, and a calm reading rhythm over stylistic novelty.
Distinctive details include a two-storey “g” and “a,” a compact “e” with a defined crossbar, and a “Q” with a clear tail, all reinforcing a traditional text-serif character. Capitals are sturdy and restrained, suited to headings without becoming display-like.
