A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderately modulated strokes. Curves are round and slightly softened, with a steady, readable rhythm and fairly generous sidebearings. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” open apertures in letters like “c” and “e,” and a compact, sturdy texture suited to continuous reading. Numerals appear lining and proportional, with traditional forms and balanced weight distribution.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles, where its steady modulation and open counters support clarity. It also works comfortably for reports, academic materials, and other formal documents that benefit from a traditional text serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, leaning scholarly and dependable rather than decorative. It conveys a calm, established voice appropriate for editorial settings, with just enough warmth in its rounded terminals to feel approachable.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, broadly usable text serif that prioritizes readability and familiarity. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and classic proportions suggest a focus on dependable paragraph color and conventional typographic tone.
Serifs are not sharp or spiky; they read as softly bracketed, helping the face maintain smooth flow in paragraphs. Capital proportions feel traditional, with clear differentiation between similarly shaped forms and a restrained, consistent finish across letters and figures.
