A traditional serif with slender stems and gently bracketed serifs that taper into pointed, slightly flared terminals. The stroke modulation is moderate and consistent, with rounded joins and soft curves that keep the texture smooth in paragraph settings. Uppercase forms feel restrained and balanced, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—noticeably in the double-storey “g” and the softly modeled “a,” plus a modest-contrast “e” with a relatively open eye. Numerals are proportional and serifed, matching the text rhythm and maintaining an even, bookish color.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports long-form readability. It also works effectively for formal branding, captions, and pull quotes when a restrained, traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting a composed, scholarly voice rather than a decorative one. It reads as polite and authoritative, with enough warmth in the curves to avoid feeling stark or mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif that prioritizes steady rhythm and familiar letterforms. Its refined serif treatment and controlled contrast suggest a focus on elegant, dependable typography for continuous content.
Serifs are fine and clean, giving the design a crisp edge at larger sizes, while the interior counters remain open enough to keep lines of text from clogging. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a steady, conventional roman ideal for continuous reading.
