A classic text serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and an even, measured rhythm. The letterforms show traditional proportions with moderate apertures and clear differentiation between thick and thin, while keeping joins and terminals smooth rather than sharp. Uppercase characters feel steady and slightly monumental, while the lowercase maintains a familiar book-face structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” sturdy verticals, and round counters. Numerals are lining and straightforward, matching the text color and spacing of the alphabet for consistent setting.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and moderate contrast maintain comfort at typical text sizes. It also fits academic and corporate documents that benefit from a conventional, authoritative serif tone, and can support restrained branding where a classic typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, editorial feel. It reads as dependable and established—more “book and journal” than “display and experimental”—and conveys a quiet formality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, conventional text serif that prioritizes familiarity, clarity, and consistent color in paragraphs. Its restrained detailing and balanced proportions suggest a focus on reliable composition across headings and body text rather than overt stylistic flourish.
In text, the face holds a solid grayscale and stable baseline, with spacing that supports continuous reading. Serifs and curves are restrained and systematic, lending a clear, conventional texture suitable for longer passages.
