A conventional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate modulation with subtly flared terminals, and the letterforms lean toward a traditional, book-oriented construction. Capitals are stately and proportionate, while lowercase shapes are open and readable with a two-storey “a” and “g” and a gently tapered “t.” Numerals follow oldstyle-like proportions and curvature, keeping the same restrained contrast and serif treatment for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to body text in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and consistent paragraph color are desired. It also works for formal documents and headings that benefit from a traditional, dependable presence.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a literary, editorial feel. Its sharp, carefully finished serifs and steady proportions convey seriousness and tradition without looking overly ornate.
Designed to provide a familiar, highly readable serif for extended text, balancing traditional proportions with clean, controlled detailing. The intent appears to prioritize dependable performance in paragraphs while retaining enough crispness for display sizes.
Spacing appears comfortable in paragraph settings, producing an even texture suited to continuous reading. Details such as the ear on “g,” the leg on “R,” and the angled strokes in “K,” “V,” and “W” add crispness while staying within a conservative text-serif vocabulary.
