A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a sturdy, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with clearly defined verticals and gently tapered joins, producing a solid, bookish texture. Counters are generously open, terminals are clean and slightly rounded, and the overall proportions read a bit broad with confident horizontal extenders. Numerals and capitals match the sturdy color of the text, with crisp curves and stable, well-anchored feet and crossbars.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the steady rhythm and open counters support comfortable scanning. It also performs convincingly in display sizes for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a traditional serif voice.
The tone is classic and institutionally familiar, projecting credibility and restraint rather than flair. Its robust shapes and measured contrast evoke traditional publishing, academia, and legacy branding where clarity and authority are valued.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: familiar shapes, measured contrast, and robust detailing aimed at clarity and authority across paragraphs and prominent editorial typography.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent typographic “color” at large sizes, with strong headline presence and clear word shapes. The serif treatment stays controlled—more sharp than soft—helping it feel formal without becoming overly delicate.
