A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs and a sturdy, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate modulation with softly tapered joins and slightly flared terminals, producing a dark, confident color in paragraph settings. Proportions lean generous, with open counters and rounded bowls; curves are smooth rather than sharp, and the serifs read as supportive and gently cupped. Lowercase forms are compact and workmanlike, with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and short ascenders/descenders that keep lines tight while preserving clarity.
Performs well for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady texture and familiar serif forms help legibility. It also suits reports, academic materials, and traditional branding applications that benefit from a grounded, established typographic tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial credibility and a measured, traditional voice. Its weight and serif detailing feel authoritative without becoming ornate, giving it a dependable, institutional character suited to serious reading.
Likely designed as a pragmatic, all-purpose text serif that prioritizes a stable reading rhythm and conventional letterforms. The moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals point to an intent to blend seamlessly into editorial typography while retaining a confident, classic presence.
Numerals appear oldstyle, integrating smoothly with lowercase text and reinforcing a literary, text-first feel. In the sample text the font maintains a consistent texture and strong presence, with punctuation and capitals that look designed for continuous reading rather than display-only use.
