A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed, softly tapered serifs. Curves are round and open with a steady, readable rhythm, while verticals remain crisp and upright. Proportions feel slightly expanded, giving capitals and lowercase generous width and clear spacing. Lowercase forms keep a familiar text-face structure with sturdy stems, balanced bowls, and restrained terminals; punctuation and figures follow the same crisp, editorial tone.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve for formal headings, pull quotes, and reports, especially when paired with generous leading to let the contrast and serifs stay crisp.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a calm authority suited to long-form reading. Its high-contrast detailing and tidy serifs suggest refinement and a quietly formal voice rather than a casual or experimental one.
Likely designed as a familiar, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and a polished printed-page feel. The slightly roomy proportions and refined contrast suggest an emphasis on comfortable paragraph color and an editorial, literary character.
The figures appear to be oldstyle (text) numerals, with noticeable ascenders/descenders that blend well into running text. Letterforms maintain a consistent, classical modulation that reads as carefully finished in paragraph settings.
