A text-oriented serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a calm, even rhythm. The letterforms show open counters and a slightly calligraphic influence in the way curves transition into stems. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and traditional, while the lowercase has a readable, bookish texture with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals appear lining and relatively even in color, matching the restrained weight and overall typographic consistency.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm supports comfortable paragraphs. It also works for reports, scholarly materials, and other professional documents that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured and cultivated rather than attention-seeking. It feels suited to established institutions and editorial contexts, where tradition and clarity are part of the message.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, prioritizing familiarity, balanced proportions, and a composed page color over distinctive stylization.
Serifs are compact and neatly finished, helping maintain a clean baseline and consistent word shape. Curved letters show smooth, controlled bowls, and spacing appears tuned for continuous reading rather than display impact.
