A conventional text serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and softly modulated strokes. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with moderate contrast between thick and thin and clean, sheared terminals. Uppercase proportions feel steady and traditional, while the lowercase shows a readable, open rhythm with compact counters and familiar forms (double-storey a, two-storey g). Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and gentle curves that blend naturally with running text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits formal documents, reports, and brand systems that need a conservative, established typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking printed literature and academic or institutional materials. Its restrained detailing and balanced color on the page read as serious and trustworthy rather than trendy or expressive.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional serif for body text, prioritizing familiar shapes, comfortable rhythm, and a balanced typographic color across paragraphs. Details like bracketed serifs and oldstyle numerals reinforce a print-oriented, literary emphasis.
Letterforms maintain consistent spacing and a calm texture in paragraphs, with slightly tapered stems and small, refined serifs that help guide the eye along lines. The italic is not shown, and the presentation emphasizes its suitability for continuous reading rather than display ornament.
