A conventional serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Letterforms show rounded joins and subtly calligraphic shaping, with comfortable proportions and a steady, book-like rhythm. The capitals are sturdy and restrained, while the lowercase features traditional details such as a two-storey “g,” a ball-like terminal on “j,” and gently cupped serifs that keep counters open. Numerals sit comfortably with the text, mixing curved and straight strokes in a way that reads as traditional and print-oriented.
This font is well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts, where its moderate contrast and traditional serifing support comfortable texture. It should also work well for academic or professional documents that benefit from a conventional, trustworthy typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quietly formal voice suited to reading. It feels familiar and established rather than trendy, projecting reliability and a mild warmth typical of traditional book serifs.
The design intention appears to be a dependable, traditional text serif with familiar forms and unobtrusive personality, optimized for readable paragraphs and general-purpose editorial typography rather than display theatrics.
Round characters (C, O, c, e) have smooth curvature and generous counters, while strokes resolve into clean, slightly flared terminals rather than sharp wedge cuts. Spacing appears even in the sample text, supporting continuous reading at text sizes.
