A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Capitals are broad and steady, with open counters and clear, slightly tapered terminals. The lowercase is robust and readable, featuring a two-storey “g” with a small ear, a compact two-storey “a,” and a moderate descender length that keeps lines feeling orderly. Numerals follow the same classical rhythm, with clear curves and restrained detailing, giving the set a consistent, well-tempered texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and familiar serif structure support comfort and comprehension. It also fits reports, academic material, and other formal documents that benefit from a classic, dependable tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, leaning toward an established, editorial voice rather than display eccentricity. Its calm rhythm and conservative detailing convey authority and reliability, with just enough contrast and shaping to feel refined.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text face: familiar proportions, moderate contrast, and traditional serif shaping aimed at sustained readability and an authoritative, print-oriented feel.
The punctuation and letterforms read cleanly at text sizes, with generous interior spaces and a steady baseline presence. Curved letters show controlled swelling through the bowls, while horizontals and serifs remain sharp enough to maintain definition in dense settings.
