A conventional text serif with clearly bracketed serifs, pronounced stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and fairly wide with confident horizontals and tapered joins, while the lowercase shows classic forms like a two-storey “a” and a two-storey “g.” The serifs are crisp without feeling sharp, and curves transition smoothly into stems, producing a controlled, print-oriented texture. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, with varying heights and a softer, text-centric presence that blends naturally into running copy.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and other long-form reading contexts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also scales effectively for headings and subheads, delivering a traditional, authoritative presence without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting established publishing and institutional communication. Its contrast and carefully finished serifs convey seriousness and credibility, with a slightly warm, literary character rather than a sterile or purely modern feel.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose reading face: familiar letterforms, balanced contrast, and refined bracketed serifs aimed at comfortable text flow and a classic print sensibility.
Spacing appears comfortable for paragraph setting, with open counters and clear differentiation between similar shapes. The italic is not shown; the samples emphasize upright roman forms and a consistent, restrained voice across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
