A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and gently calligraphic modulation. Strokes show moderate contrast with softly tapered terminals and a subtle diagonal stress, giving curves a warm, organic rhythm. Proportions lean compact with a relatively short x-height and sturdy verticals; capitals are stately and evenly weighted, while the lowercase keeps clear counters and slightly varied widths for a natural text texture. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with rounded forms and modest stroke taper that aligns with the letterforms.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial settings where a familiar serif voice and steady rhythm support extended reading. It can also serve for formal communications—programs, invitations, institutional materials, and headings—where a traditional, credible tone is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting established editorial typography rather than overt display styling. It feels formal without being severe, with a quiet, literary character suited to long-form reading and traditional branding.
Likely designed to provide a reliable, conventional serif for comfortable reading, balancing classic proportions with moderate contrast for an even, composed page color. The restrained detailing and consistent bracketed serifs point to an emphasis on text performance and typographic neutrality with a gently traditional flavor.
The ampersand is expressive and the letterfit appears moderately open, helping maintain clarity at text sizes despite the shorter x-height. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and e) are smooth and restrained, and serif transitions are consistently bracketed for a cohesive, text-oriented color.
