A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes that read clearly in both display sizes and text. The letterforms show balanced proportions with moderate apertures and generous counters; curves are smooth and the joins are clean without calligraphic flourish. Capitals are sturdy and even, while lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a compact, readable “e.” Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varying heights and extenders that blend naturally into running text.
This font is well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles, where its conventional serif structure and steady texture support sustained legibility. It also fits institutional materials—reports, programs, and formal communications—where a traditional, trustworthy typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking editorial and academic typography rather than branding theatrics. Its calm rhythm and familiar shapes project reliability and seriousness, with enough warmth in the curves and bracketing to avoid feeling rigid.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for continuous text, prioritizing familiar proportions, clear counters, and a composed typographic color. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests an emphasis on seamless integration of figures within body copy.
Stroke endings and serifs are consistent across the set, giving paragraphs an even color. Spacing appears measured and conservative, supporting comfortable word shapes and sustained reading.
