A conventional serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a steady, book-oriented rhythm with rounded counters, smooth curves, and relatively open apertures that support continuous reading. Uppercase shapes feel measured and traditional, while the lowercase balances sturdy verticals with gently curved joins; ascenders and descenders are clearly defined without becoming overly long. Figures appear proportional and text-friendly, with familiar forms and consistent weight distribution.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also support headings and subheads in print or digital contexts that benefit from a classic, authoritative typographic color.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, academic work, and editorial settings. Its restrained contrast and calm proportions give it a composed, trustworthy voice rather than a decorative or trendy one.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional in structure, comfortable in paragraph settings, and versatile enough to cover both running text and display roles without drawing attention to idiosyncratic styling.
Curves and terminals read as deliberately softened rather than sharp, which keeps the texture even at paragraph sizes. The italic is not shown; the visible style maintains an upright, steady stance across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
