This serif face shows moderate contrast with clearly bracketed serifs and a steady, even color on the page. Uppercase forms are traditionally proportioned, with wide bowls and confident horizontals; the round letters stay fairly open while maintaining a compact, controlled rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and readable, with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a pronounced ear, and relatively short-to-moderate extenders that keep lines orderly. Numerals are text-friendly in proportion, with clear differentiation and classic shapes (notably an open “4” and a curved “2”).
Well-suited to body copy in books, essays, and long-form editorial layouts where steady rhythm and familiar letterforms are priorities. It can also support formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional documents that benefit from a classic, traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is conservative and literary, evoking established publishing and institutional communication. It feels composed and dependable rather than decorative, with a quiet authority that reads as traditional and polished.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes legibility and typographic familiarity. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and restrained detailing suggest a focus on reliable performance in continuous reading and formal communication.
In text, the face maintains strong word shapes and consistent spacing, producing a smooth paragraph texture. The serifs and terminals stay crisp at larger sizes, while the counters remain sufficiently open to support longer passages.
