This is a traditional serif with bracketed, moderately sized serifs and a steady, even rhythm. Strokes show noticeable but not extreme contrast, with smooth joins and gently tapered terminals rather than abrupt slab endings. Proportions feel balanced and slightly generous in width, with clear, open counters and a calm baseline presence. The lowercase uses a two-storey “a” and “g” and compact, sturdy serifs that keep text color consistent in paragraphs. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), integrating smoothly with lowercase in running text.
Well suited for book typography, editorial layouts, and other text-heavy settings where a consistent typographic color is important. It can also work for reports, academic material, and formal branding applications that want a familiar, established serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying a conventional, editorial seriousness. It reads as dependable and familiar, with a reserved formality suited to long-form content and institutional communication rather than expressive display.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile text serif: moderately contrasted, comfortably proportioned, and optimized for sustained reading. Its restrained details and even rhythm suggest a focus on general-purpose editorial utility rather than decorative personality.
At larger sizes the serif detailing remains crisp and composed, while in paragraph setting the even spacing and moderate contrast create a stable, continuous texture. The shapes lean toward traditional text-serif conventions, prioritizing clarity and continuity over eccentric character.
