A conventional serif with bracketed, tapering serifs and moderate stroke modulation, giving it a crisp but not overly delicate texture. Capitals are balanced and slightly spacious, with clear triangular terminals on letters like A, V, W, X, and Y. Lowercase forms are readable and traditional, with a two-storey a, a compact ear on g, and sturdy vertical stress in rounded letters; punctuation and numerals follow the same restrained, bookish rhythm. Overall spacing feels open, producing an even, calm text color at paragraph sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and consistent paragraph color are important. It can also serve well in formal communications—reports, programs, and institutional materials—and in branding that wants a traditional, established tone.
The tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and polish without feeling ornate. Its sharp terminals and steady rhythm suggest an editorial voice—measured, trustworthy, and slightly formal.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that emphasizes clarity and tradition. Its bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and open spacing aim for comfortable readability while adding a refined, print-oriented character.
Serif detailing trends toward pointed, wedge-like finishes in places, adding a subtle engraved feel while keeping the construction conventional. The figures are clear and text-friendly, and the sample paragraph shows stable line texture with good separation between characters.
