A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs and a steady, bookish rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with slightly tapered joins and softly flared terminals that keep forms crisp without feeling sharp. Proportions are balanced and comfortably open: counters are generous, curves are smooth, and spacing reads even in continuous text. Details like the two-storey “a” and “g,” the compact, footed numerals, and the clean, relatively narrow joins on “M,” “N,” and “W” reinforce a traditional, print-oriented construction.
Works well for long-form body copy in books, reports, and editorial layouts where consistent color and comfortable spacing matter. It also suits headings and pull quotes when a traditional, dependable serif voice is desired, especially in academic, cultural, or journalistic contexts.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. It conveys credibility and tradition rather than novelty, making it well suited to content that should feel established, careful, and authoritative.
Likely designed to deliver a familiar, highly readable serif texture with enough contrast and detail to feel refined, while keeping letterforms conventional and stable for sustained reading.
Capitals have a dignified presence with restrained ornament and consistent serif treatment across the set. Lowercase shows clear differentiation of similar forms (e.g., i/l, r/n) and maintains legibility through open apertures and controlled stroke modulation, suggesting an emphasis on comfortable reading at text sizes.
