A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate-to-strong stroke modulation, and a steady, print-like rhythm. The letterforms show tapered terminals and gently flared serifs, with rounded joins and a slightly calligraphic influence rather than rigid geometry. Counters are open and proportions feel comfortably traditional, with sturdy stems and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes that reads cleanly at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits institutional and academic materials, and can serve as a reliable choice for brand systems that want a traditional, trustworthy voice in headings and supporting text.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking established publishing and editorial typography. Its sharp, high-contrast details and traditional serif cues add a sense of authority and formality without feeling ornate or decorative.
