A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and a crisp, clean outline. Strokes show moderate contrast with predominantly vertical stress, giving the forms a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Proportions are compact and relatively narrow, with tall capitals and tidy, slightly condensed lowercase that keeps counters controlled. Terminals are mostly sharp and lightly bracketed rather than blunt, and the overall texture in paragraph settings reads even and orderly without becoming heavy or calligraphic.
Works well for continuous reading in books, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional documents where a familiar serif texture supports readability. Its compact proportions also suit dense settings such as reports, programs, and reference pages where space economy and a conservative typographic tone are desirable.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a restrained formality that suggests editorial credibility. It feels composed and slightly serious, suited to contexts where clarity and a familiar literary voice are preferred over showiness.
Designed to provide a dependable, traditional serif voice for text composition, prioritizing an even reading texture, disciplined proportions, and a familiar letterform vocabulary that integrates smoothly into editorial and document typography.
The glyph set shown emphasizes straightforward, conventional construction with consistent serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals appear lining and fairly narrow, matching the type’s compact horizontal footprint and maintaining a disciplined vertical rhythm in mixed text.
