A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and an even, text-forward rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and relatively wide with crisp, straight-sided construction, while curves stay smooth and controlled. The lowercase shows open counters and clear joins, with a sturdy, readable skeleton and restrained detailing; the double-storey forms (notably a and g) reinforce a traditional text serif feel. Numerals follow the same measured contrast and upright stance, with clear interior shapes and balanced widths that suit continuous reading.
Well suited for book and long-form text, editorial layouts, and publication typography where a familiar serif voice supports readability. It also works for reports, academic material, and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and editorial polish rather than novelty. It feels formal and literary, with a calm, dependable presence that reads as established and traditional.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, balancing traditional proportions and detail with a clean, steady rhythm for comfortable setting in paragraphs and headlines alike.
Spacing appears generous and consistent, helping the wide proportions stay legible without feeling cramped. Serifs are finely shaped and slightly tapered with subtle bracketing, giving a refined finish that remains practical at text sizes.
