A conventional serif with moderate, bracketed serifs and a steady, readable rhythm. Strokes are mostly even with subtle modulation, giving the letters a crisp, composed texture rather than a strongly calligraphic one. Proportions feel balanced and moderately spaced, with open counters and clear apertures that keep paragraphs airy. Numerals follow the same restrained, old-style-inspired rhythm, with a slightly more flowing ‘2’ and a curved-tail ‘Q’ that add character without breaking consistency.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and consistent texture are important. It also fits reports, academic material, and other content-heavy documents that benefit from a traditional, dependable typographic tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quiet refinement suited to traditional editorial design. It reads as formal and trustworthy, aiming for clarity over display theatrics while still offering a hint of elegance in key curves and terminals.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif: prioritizing comfortable readability, steady paragraph color, and a timeless, print-oriented feel, with just enough detail in serifs and curves to provide personality.
The uppercase has a dignified presence with clean curves in C/G/O and sturdy verticals in H/M/N, while the lowercase maintains an even color and legible forms at text sizes. Round letters stay smooth and stable, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain sharp without looking brittle.
