A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The letterforms balance rounded bowls with slightly sharpened terminals, giving curves a crisp finish without feeling brittle. Proportions read as comfortably readable, with open counters and clear differentiation between similar shapes; numerals follow the same calm, conventional structure. Overall spacing and sidebearings feel even, supporting cohesive word shapes in continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where stable rhythm and clear word shapes matter. It can also support academic or institutional materials, reports, and other print-forward typography that benefits from a conventional serif voice.
The tone is classic and composed, evoking conventional print typography and established editorial voice. It feels dependable and familiar rather than attention-seeking, with a quietly refined finish suited to serious reading.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, moderate contrast, and unobtrusive detailing aimed at comfortable readability and broad typographic utility.
Uppercase forms have a sturdy, traditional presence, while lowercase maintains a straightforward construction that prioritizes clarity. The design avoids exaggerated calligraphic flair, relying instead on restrained detailing and consistent serif treatment to carry its character.
