A conventional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a calm, bookish rhythm with relatively open counters and smooth curves, balancing sturdy vertical stems with gently thinned joins. Uppercase proportions feel measured and slightly wide, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady spacing. Numerals align with the text color and share the same restrained contrast, giving the set an even, readable texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to body text in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and reliable readability are priorities. It also fits reports, formal correspondence, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking printed literature and academic material. It reads as composed and authoritative rather than expressive, with a familiar, comfortable presence suited to extended reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar in structure, comfortable in continuous reading, and restrained enough to work across many content types without drawing attention to itself.
Terminals and serifs are softly bracketed rather than abrupt, which helps keep the page color even at text sizes. Round letters stay smooth and open, and the italic is not shown—only an upright roman style is evident in the samples.
