A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a steady horizontal rhythm. The capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows rounded, open counters and a slightly calligraphic construction that keeps the texture lively without becoming decorative. Serifs are well integrated into the stems rather than sharp or slab-like, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) are smooth with restrained contrast. Numerals are clear and conventional, matching the letterforms in weight and serif treatment for consistent color in running text.
Well suited to books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where sustained readability and a conventional serif texture are desired. It also fits academic and professional documents, reports, and branded communications that benefit from a conservative, dependable typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial authority and a familiar, timeless voice. It feels composed and readable, with a subtle warmth that suits long-form reading more than high-impact display.
Designed to deliver a familiar, high-readability serif for general-purpose text typography, balancing traditional detailing with restrained contrast and consistent spacing for comfortable continuous reading.
In paragraph setting, the font maintains an even typographic color and stable baseline behavior, with no exaggerated quirks; it relies on traditional proportions and moderate detailing to convey character. The forms read comfortably at text sizes, while the capitals remain strong enough for headings without appearing overly sharp.
