A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady vertical rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and classically proportioned, with crisp terminals and a clear hierarchy over the lowercase. The lowercase shows familiar book-face construction (including double-storey a and g), rounded bowls, and relatively open counters that keep the texture readable at paragraph sizes. Numerals follow an oldstyle pattern with ascenders and descenders, blending smoothly into running text.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where consistent texture and familiar letterforms support extended reading. The oldstyle numerals make it especially fitting for text-heavy settings that include dates, references, or figures integrated into paragraphs.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting established print conventions and a calm, authoritative voice. Its restrained detailing and balanced contrast feel appropriate for serious, editorial communication rather than overtly decorative uses.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for continuous text, prioritizing legibility, conventional proportions, and a neutral, time-tested typographic color.
Spacing appears even and predictable, producing a smooth gray value in the sample text. Serifs are neither blunt nor exaggerated, and joins are softly bracketed, contributing to a comfortable reading texture.
