A crisp serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed serifs that feel traditional rather than decorative. The proportions are compact and somewhat tall, with tight apertures and a steady vertical stress that keeps text orderly at display sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and the overall rhythm is even, giving paragraphs a composed, bookish texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained logic, with narrow sidebearings and consistent weight distribution.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and academic materials where a conventional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for magazine typography, publisher branding, and formal headings where a restrained, traditional voice supports credibility.
The tone is classic and literary, projecting formality and quiet confidence. It reads as refined and editorial, with a dignified presence suited to established institutions and traditional publishing.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, conventional reading serif with a slightly compact footprint and a polished, print-oriented feel, balancing elegance with clarity in continuous text.
The lowercase shows a two-storey “g” and a compact “e,” reinforcing a conventional text-serif voice. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed, helping headings feel authoritative without becoming overly ornate.
