A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, a crisp high-contrast stroke pattern, and an upright stance. Proportions are balanced with moderate letterfit and clear, open counters, giving the text an even rhythm across lines. The lowercase shows a traditional construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a sturdy, slightly tapered “t,” and a compact “e,” while capitals carry strong verticals and confident serifs. Numerals appear oldstyle (text) figures with varying heights and ascenders/descenders, matching the serifed, bookish tone of the letters.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and other reading-focused material where a classic serif texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively for headlines and subheads in print or PDF contexts where a traditional, authoritative voice is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a composed, confident presence that reads as established and trustworthy. Its contrast and sharp terminals add a touch of sophistication without feeling ornamental, making it feel at home in serious, text-forward contexts.
This design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar typographic voice. The high contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of refined, print-oriented polish while maintaining conventional, versatile forms.
Stroke modulation remains consistent across the set, with clean joins and clear differentiation between thick stems and hairline horizontals. The sample text suggests stable color at display-to-text sizes, while the oldstyle numerals contribute to a classic typographic texture in running copy.
