A conventional serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The outlines are clean and steady, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep counters open and readable. Capitals are evenly proportioned and slightly broad, while lowercase forms maintain a familiar text rhythm with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Figures appear lining and well-balanced, with simple, traditional shapes and consistent color in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady rhythm and comfortable letterforms matter. It also fits reports, academic material, and other formal communications that benefit from a traditional serif tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking traditional editorial typography. It feels formal without becoming ornate, projecting calm authority and a reserved, literary character. The even texture and restrained detailing support a dependable, professional voice.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: familiar shapes, restrained contrast, and careful serif treatment prioritize readability and a polished, conventional appearance across headings and body copy.
Serifs stay relatively small and controlled, helping the font hold together in continuous text. Terminals and apertures are conservative and legibility-oriented, giving the face a familiar, mainstream text-serif personality.
