A conventional text serif with moderate contrast and clearly bracketed serifs that soften joins while keeping edges crisp. Capitals are proportioned with a steady, even rhythm and slightly flared terminals, while the lowercase maintains compact, tidy counters and restrained stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a traditional double-story “g” and a straight, economical “t” topped by a small crossbar. Numerals follow the same understated logic, with familiar old-style-like curves and clean, stable verticals suited to continuous reading.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and reports, where its familiar serif structure supports sustained legibility. It also works for magazine features, newspaper-style layouts, and formal branding systems that benefit from a classic typographic voice.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, projecting credibility and tradition without feeling overly ornate. It reads as quietly authoritative—more scholarly than decorative—making it feel at home in editorial and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text face: traditional letterforms, restrained contrast, and careful serif treatment aimed at comfortable reading and broad editorial utility.
Serifs are prominent enough to guide horizontal flow but remain relatively fine, keeping the page color open and calm. The design favors conventional forms and consistent detailing, which helps paragraphs hold together smoothly at text sizes while still looking sharp in display settings.
