A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. The letterforms show gently rounded transitions and slightly tapered terminals, balancing crisp verticals with smoother curves. Uppercase proportions feel classic and restrained, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a comfortable, readable texture in paragraph settings. Numerals appear lining and proportionally integrated, with familiar shapes and consistent weight distribution.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, academic writing, and other long-form text where a familiar serif voice and consistent color help sustain readability. It can also support headings and subheads when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting printed literature and long-form reading. It conveys a sense of credibility and convention—more at home in established editorial contexts than in loud, trendy display work.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, measured contrast, and bracketed serifs aimed at producing an even, comfortable reading texture across paragraphs.
Curves such as C/O/Q show smooth, even bowls, and diagonals (V/W/Y) keep a controlled, formal posture. The ampersand is straightforward and text-like rather than ornamental, reinforcing the font’s reserved personality.
