A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, upright rhythm. The letterforms have slightly rounded joining curves and terminals that keep the shapes firm rather than delicate, giving text a dense, readable color. Capitals are proportioned in a traditional book style with clear, open counters (notably in C, G, and O), while the lowercase shows compact widths, a two-storey a, and strong vertical stress. Numerals are lining with classic proportions and smooth curves, matching the texty texture of the alphabet.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, journals, reports, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It should also work effectively for headings and subheads when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired, especially in print-oriented designs.
The overall tone feels classic and composed, with a bookish, editorial voice. It reads as dependable and traditional—more scholarly and institutional than trendy—suited to content that benefits from clarity and authority.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, workhorse text serif: familiar proportions, clear counters, and restrained contrast aimed at reliable readability and an established typographic voice.
Spacing appears even and the forms hold up well at text sizes in the sample, producing a consistent gray value. The design balances crisp serifs with slightly softened curves, which helps avoid a brittle feel while maintaining a formal appearance.
