A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Curves are generously rounded and the joins read smooth rather than sharply angular, giving the design a calm, bookish texture. Capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase shows familiar text-family constructions (notably a double-storey “a” and two-storey “g”) with compact, slightly tapered terminals. The figures appear oldstyle, with varied heights and several descending forms, reinforcing a traditional text rhythm.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an unobtrusive, familiar serif voice is desired. It also fits academic or institutional materials and brand systems that need a conventional, credible typographic foundation.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority without feeling overly rigid. Its measured contrast and rounded details keep it approachable, making it feel suited to established institutions and long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar letterforms, moderate modulation, and restrained detailing aimed at readability and an established, timeless presence.
Round letters like C, O, and G feel open and spacious, and the serifs remain consistent across straight and curved strokes for an even color in paragraphs. Several lowercase letters show small ball-like terminals (for example on forms like “j”), adding a subtle, traditional warmth.
