A classic text serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation that reads clearly at both display and paragraph sizes. The letterforms show a fairly vertical axis and a compact, steady rhythm, with wide, open counters in rounds like C and O and clear joins that stay dark but not overly dense. Serifs tend toward wedge-like, slightly flared terminals, giving the face a confident footprint, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with traditional proportions and a two-storey “g”. Numerals appear oldstyle in form, with varying heights and descenders that integrate smoothly with running text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also support formal communications such as reports and institutional materials, and works effectively for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative voice is needed.
The overall tone is conventional and bookish, projecting reliability and a slightly academic seriousness. Its sturdy serifs and restrained contrast lend an authoritative, editorial feel rather than a decorative one.
The font appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif for continuous text, prioritizing clarity, even spacing, and a traditional typographic voice. The use of oldstyle-style numerals and robust, bracketed serifs suggests it was designed to blend seamlessly into editorial and book typography while retaining enough weight to hold up in print.
The design keeps details disciplined and consistent across capitals and lowercase, favoring stability over idiosyncrasy. The darker color and strong serifs help maintain presence in headings while still feeling suited to long-form reading.
