A conventional serif text face with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and an overall compact, economical set. Curves are slightly organic rather than purely geometric, with smooth joins and restrained terminals that keep the rhythm steady in continuous reading. Uppercase forms feel stately and clear, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—most notably a two-storey “g,” a modestly angled stress, and rounded counters that remain open at text sizes. Figures are straightforward and readable, aligning well with the text color without drawing attention.
It performs best in text-forward settings such as books, essays, magazines, and institutional documents where a stable serif texture supports sustained reading. It also fits headings and pull quotes when a classic, authoritative voice is desired without appearing overly ornate.
The font projects a traditional, bookish tone—measured, credible, and familiar. Its calm texture and classic detailing suggest editorial seriousness rather than display drama, making it feel appropriate for established institutions and long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional serif for general-purpose typography, balancing classical proportions and subtle stroke modulation to produce an unobtrusive, readable page color across a range of sizes.
The overall color is even, with serifs and terminals kept relatively small and controlled, helping maintain legibility in dense paragraphs. The italic is not shown; the available sample indicates a steady, unflashy roman suited to sustained text.
