A classic serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that create a steady, readable rhythm. The letterforms show soft transitions into the serifs, open counters, and a slightly organic, oldstyle construction—most evident in the lowercase with its rounded bowls and flowing joins. Terminals tend to be softly tapered rather than blunt, and curves are smooth with restrained contrast, helping the face hold together well across lines of text.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, journals, and other editorial layouts where a consistent text color and comfortable letterforms are important. It can also serve effectively for formal documents and academic or institutional materials that benefit from a conventional, trustworthy serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting editorial credibility and a quiet formality. Its soft bracketing and moderated contrast keep it approachable rather than sharp, giving long passages a familiar, literary feel.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional in structure, moderate in contrast, and optimized for continuous reading with a stable rhythm and familiar proportions.
The italic is not shown; the sample focuses on roman text where the spacing and word texture appear even and calm. Figures are lining and proportionally aligned with the capitals, and the design maintains consistent serif treatment across letters, contributing to a cohesive page color.
