A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and moderately modulated strokes. The capitals show steady proportions and a composed rhythm, with sturdy verticals and controlled curves; the lowercase reads smoothly with compact, slightly tightened apertures and a clear, upright stance. Serifs are not overly long and connect with gentle bracketing, giving the outlines a crisp, orderly finish. Numerals follow the same restrained, text-oriented construction, keeping color even across mixed setting.
Well-suited to body text in books, long-form editorial layouts, and institutional or academic materials where a familiar serif voice is preferred. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and captions that need a traditional, authoritative tone while preserving readability.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, leaning toward literary and editorial use rather than display. Its measured contrast and familiar proportions convey seriousness and clarity, with a quietly authoritative, “book page” sensibility.
Designed to function as a general-purpose text serif with a classic, conventional voice, prioritizing readability and consistent typographic color across paragraphs while remaining capable in straightforward headline use.
In text, the face maintains an even texture and stable baseline presence, with capitals that feel robust enough for headings without becoming showy. The detailing stays conservative—more refined than heavy—supporting long-form reading and typographic hierarchy without calling attention to itself.
