This serif features bracketed, tapered serifs and a measured, moderate stroke contrast that reads cleanly at text sizes. Proportions are balanced with a steady rhythm, open counters, and conventional letterforms; joins and terminals feel crisp rather than calligraphic. Round letters are slightly compact and sturdy, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sharply cut and well-defined, giving the overall texture a composed, even color on the page.
Well-suited for body copy in print and digital editorial design, including books, long-form articles, reports, and academic or institutional materials. It can also support headings when a traditional, understated serif voice is desired without heavy display stylization.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, formal presence suited to serious or informational settings. It conveys reliability and clarity more than personality, landing in a familiar, editorial register.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar forms, controlled contrast, and consistent detailing prioritize readability and an established editorial feel over novelty.
Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a practical, readable structure with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals share the same restrained, conventional construction, supporting continuous reading and tabular-style contexts without calling attention to themselves.
