A traditional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes show gentle contrast with subtly modulated curves, producing clean joins and smooth arches in letters like n and m. Proportions lean slightly narrow with generous internal space, and round forms (O, o, e) read open and steady. The italic is not shown; overall the design stays upright and composed, with understated terminals and a consistent, bookish color in text.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable reading rhythm are needed. It also fits formal documents, academic material, and magazine typography that benefits from a polished, conventional text face.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting authority without heaviness. Its restrained detailing and balanced proportions convey refinement and formality suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established typographic voice. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs aim to produce an even, composed texture across paragraphs and headings.
Capitals are stately with sharp apexes and crisp horizontals, while lowercase shapes remain readable through open apertures and clear differentiation (notably a two-storey g and a straightforward, serifed i and l). Numerals align with the texty character of the face, maintaining the same quiet contrast and traditional detailing.
