A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, even rhythm. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or wide, with generous internal space and clearly defined counters. The curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are crisp, and joins stay clean at text sizes. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and extenders, matching the text-oriented color of the letters.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and an even typographic color are important. It can also serve comfortably in academic or institutional materials and other print-forward contexts that call for a familiar serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, formal presence. It reads as dependable and familiar—more literary and institutional than expressive or trendy—suited to content that benefits from typographic gravitas.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose reading serif: conservative in construction, carefully moderated in contrast, and tuned for consistent texture across paragraphs. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals reinforces a text-first, editorial orientation.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and conventional, while lowercase shows a readable, text-seriffed structure with distinct letter shapes and clear differentiation. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a roman intended to carry paragraphs comfortably without drawing attention to itself.
