A conventional serif design with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and clear thick–thin modulation. Curves show a moderate diagonal stress, with teardrop/ball terminals appearing on forms like the lowercase a. Proportions feel bookish and balanced, with relatively generous counters and open apertures that keep text color even in paragraph settings. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights), reinforcing a traditional text rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for institutional reports, academic materials, and magazine typography, handling both display-sized titles and comfortable text sizes with a familiar, literary presence.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its contrast and crisp serifs lend a refined, slightly formal character suited to traditional publishing and institutional communication.
Likely designed to be a dependable, conventional text serif: recognizable letterforms, restrained detailing, and a balanced contrast profile that supports continuous reading while still offering a polished, authoritative appearance in headings.
The italic is not shown; the displayed style relies on steady, upright forms with consistent serif treatment across capitals and lowercase. The sample text suggests stable spacing and a calm reading cadence, while the higher contrast gives headings a touch of elegance without becoming ornate.
