A classic serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation that reads clearly at both display and text sizes. Proportions are balanced with a traditional cap set and a moderate x-height, producing an even, book-like texture in paragraphs. Curves are smoothly drawn and counters are open, while joins and terminals stay crisp rather than soft or calligraphic. The figures align comfortably with the text, showing oldstyle influence in their varied shapes and widths.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs help guide the eye along lines. It can also serve as a dependable headline serif for magazines or institutional materials when a classic, trustworthy voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. It projects authority and refinement without looking overly ornate, making it suitable for serious, established communications.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity. Its restrained detailing and balanced proportions suggest a focus on versatile publishing use rather than overt stylization.
The italic is not shown; the sample focuses on roman forms where the rhythm is steady and the spacing appears generous enough for comfortable reading. Uppercase letterforms feel stately and conventional, while the lowercase maintains a calm, consistent cadence that supports multi-line text.
