This serif face presents sturdy, bracketed serifs with gently rounded joins and slightly softened terminals that give the forms a tactile, ink-on-paper feel. Strokes are moderately contrasted and clearly modulated without becoming delicate, producing a calm, even texture in paragraphs. Proportions lean traditional with generous counters and a slightly compact, sturdy stance; the lowercase shows a familiar text rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g” and pronounced, rounded shoulders. Overall spacing reads comfortable and steady, with a consistent baseline and clear differentiation across letters and figures.
It is well-suited to extended reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an even text color and conventional serif rhythm are desired.
