A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady, even color on the page. Strokes show moderate modulation with rounded joins and a controlled, slightly calligraphic shaping in terminals and curves. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with open counters and clear differentiation between capitals, lowercase, and figures; the lowercase includes single-storey forms like “a” and “g,” adding a slightly more human, bookish texture. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous text, with a calm rhythm and dependable letterfit in the paragraph sample.
Well-suited to body copy in books, essays, and articles where sustained readability and a traditional voice are desired. It also works effectively for editorial headlines and subheads, pull quotes, captions, and formal documents that benefit from a conventional, trustworthy serif presence.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—authoritative without feeling ornate. Its steady rhythm and familiar serif shapes suggest academia, publishing, and institutional communication, while the softer curves keep it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, print-oriented tone. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and restrained detailing aim to perform reliably across long passages while maintaining a polished, traditional character.
Capitals read as dignified and slightly compact, with pronounced top serifs and firm verticals that help headings feel anchored. Numerals are clear and traditional in style, matching the text face’s overall restraint and legibility.
