A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and sturdy, well-supported stems. The letters show a measured, slightly condensed rhythm with generous counters and clear aperture shapes, keeping wordforms calm and highly legible. Terminals are mostly crisp and horizontal, with rounded joins that soften the transitions; curves on C, G, and S feel controlled rather than calligraphic. Numerals are robust and old-style in feeling, with distinct shapes and stable baseline alignment suited to continuous text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where consistent texture and comfortable spacing matter. It also fits formal communication such as reports, academic or institutional documents, and branded print collateral that benefits from a conventional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority without feeling ornate. It reads as dependable and institutional—appropriate for content that aims to feel established, factual, and carefully set. The restrained contrast and tidy detailing create a quiet, composed voice.
Likely designed as a general-purpose text serif: durable in paragraphs, conservative in detail, and optimized for steady reading rhythm. The aim appears to be broad usability across editorial and professional contexts while preserving a familiar, traditional serif character.
Uppercase forms are broad and steady, with clearly defined serifs and consistent stroke endings that maintain a strong typographic color. Lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a straightforward, readable s that holds up well at text sizes.
