A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and moderately tapered strokes that create a steady, readable rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with round counters and gently modulated joins; the overall drawing feels even rather than sharp or overly geometric. Capitals show balanced proportions and restrained detailing, while lowercase forms keep open apertures and clear differentiation. The numerals appear text-oriented, with oldstyle figures (notably the 3, 5, and 9) showing descending or varying heights that blend naturally with running copy.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a steady serif texture is important. It should also perform well in formal documents, academic materials, and print-oriented reports that benefit from a traditional typographic voice.
The tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature, editorial work, and institutional communication. Its calm modulation and familiar letterforms convey reliability and a quietly cultured, classical feel without appearing ornate.
Likely designed as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and familiar proportions, while adding a touch of classic refinement through modest stroke modulation and softly bracketed serifs.
Stroke endings and serifs stay consistent across the set, with subtle flaring and soft bracketing that support smooth horizontal flow in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a regular roman suited to continuous reading, with punctuation and spacing that look comfortable at text sizes.
