A balanced serif with moderate stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with clean curves and restrained terminals; the round letters (C, O, Q) show smooth, controlled bowls and the Q has a traditional tail. Lowercase forms are conventional and readable, featuring a double-storey a and g, open apertures, and compact joins that keep texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals align with the text style, mixing straight stems with gently tapered curves for a coherent, page-oriented rhythm.
Well-suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a consistent texture and comfortable reading cadence are priorities. It also fits formal communication—reports, essays, and academic material—where a conventional serif voice supports clarity and authority.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting printed-page authority rather than novelty. Its steady rhythm and familiar shapes convey credibility and a literary, editorial sensibility suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional skeletons, moderate contrast, and controlled detailing aimed at producing an even, readable paragraph color while retaining a classic, print-rooted character.
Letterforms show careful restraint: terminals are mostly clean and understated, with small details (like the ear and tails) kept tight to preserve a smooth text color. Spacing and proportions appear tuned for continuous text, avoiding overly wide capitals or overly tight lowercase counters.
