A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a crisp, print-oriented finish. Proportions lean classical: capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase shows a relatively short x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, giving lines a slightly more vertical, traditional rhythm. Terminals are clean and slightly tapered, counters are open, and spacing feels measured, producing an even texture in paragraph settings without looking sterile.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits academic and institutional materials, reports, and traditional branding that benefits from a familiar, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and bookish, evoking established editorial typography and institutional print. Its restrained contrast and familiar shapes read as trustworthy and formal, with just enough sharpness in the serifs and joints to keep the voice crisp rather than soft.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and a classic page color. It aims to deliver a conventional literary tone while remaining crisp enough for modern editorial reproduction.
Numerals appear text-friendly with oldstyle-like movement (notably the curved forms and varying heights), supporting a comfortable reading flow in mixed text. Overall letterforms maintain a consistent, conservative skeleton with subtle liveliness in diagonals and curved joins.
