A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and subtly tapered strokes that give the outlines a gently calligraphic flavor. The construction is relatively compact with tight proportions and a steady rhythm, while contrast stays moderate rather than dramatic. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and verticals feel stable; overall spacing reads even and text-oriented. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained, bookish logic, with clear forms and minimal ornament.
Well suited to body text in books and editorial layouts where an even, traditional texture is desirable. It also fits academic and institutional materials, reports, and other settings that benefit from a conservative, highly legible serif voice.
The tone is classic and composed, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than decorative. It conveys seriousness and credibility, with a quiet refinement suited to long-form reading and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, time-tested presence. Its moderated contrast, compact proportions, and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on producing stable paragraph color and a dependable editorial tone.
Uppercase forms show a stately, slightly old-style presence (notably in the curving bowls and the leg of R), while lowercase remains straightforward and readable in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates consistent texture across mixed case, punctuation, and figures.
