A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. Curves show a gentle calligraphic influence, with slightly tapered terminals and softly modeled joins that keep forms from feeling mechanical. Uppercase proportions are balanced and dignified, while lowercase maintains clear counters and smooth, rounded bowls; the italic is absent here, and the roman carries the texture. Numerals appear lining with sturdy, readable shapes and subtly flared finishing strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a calm, even text color is important. It also works for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial publishing. Its measured contrast and restrained detailing communicate reliability and formality without becoming sharp or austere.
The font appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity. Its moderate modulation and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of producing comfortable paragraph texture with a subtly warm, classic character.
The design favors familiar, time-tested letterforms with consistent serif treatment across caps and lowercase. Spacing and sidebearings look tuned for paragraph setting, producing an even grayscale in the sample text while still retaining crisp character definition in display sizes.
