A conventional text serif with bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs and smooth, moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show gently cupped terminals and subtly tapered joins, giving a soft, crafted feel rather than a rigid mechanical one. Proportions are balanced with a steady rhythm in running text; counters are fairly open and curves are round without being geometric. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights and alignments), and the overall drawing favors readability with restrained detailing.
Well suited for extended reading in books, essays, and magazine articles where a familiar serif voice and stable texture are desirable. It also fits academic or institutional documents, reports, and printed collateral that benefits from a conservative, credible typographic tone. Oldstyle numerals make it especially appropriate for text-heavy layouts with frequent in-line numbers.
The font conveys a traditional, book-oriented tone with a calm authority. Its moderated contrast and softened terminals feel familiar and dependable, lending an editorial seriousness without becoming austere. The presence of oldstyle figures adds a scholarly, heritage-leaning flavor that suits classic typography.
The design appears intended as a practical, comfortable text serif: traditional in structure, moderated in contrast, and tuned for smooth, even paragraph color. Its details suggest an aim to balance classic typographic conventions with a slightly warm, humanist finish for everyday editorial use.
In the sample text, color on the page is even, with clear word shapes and consistent spacing that supports longer passages. The lowercase shows a gentle calligraphic influence (notably in the flowing shapes of letters like a, e, g, and y), while the capitals maintain a more formal, inscribed presence. The figures integrate naturally into text due to their varied heights, reinforcing a traditional composition style.
