A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke. Proportions are balanced with a slightly generous set and open counters, producing an even horizontal rhythm in text. Terminals are mostly crisp and tapered rather than blunt, and curves show controlled, smooth modulation. Lowercase forms read traditionally (two-storey a and g, compact e, straight-sided n/m), while capitals feel stately with broad bowls and clear, well-defined serifs. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Performs well in long-form reading environments such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts, and it also suits formal communication like reports and academic documents. The oldstyle numerals make it particularly comfortable for mixed text-and-number content in paragraphs and captions.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial seriousness. It feels refined and dependable rather than decorative, suitable for settings where clarity and authority matter.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif that balances traditional details with clean, controlled drawing for consistent paragraph color. Its emphasis on familiar forms, moderate contrast, and readable spacing points to use in sustained reading and professional publishing contexts.
In the sample paragraph the letterspacing and weight distribution support comfortable continuous reading, with strong differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I/J, O/Q) and a clear, upright stance. The combination of dignified capitals and text-friendly lowercase suggests a design aimed at long-form readability with a polished, conventional finish.
