A poised serif with bracketed serifs and a measured, bookish rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation with slightly sharpened terminals and a clean, crisp finish, while curves remain smooth and open. Proportions are balanced with moderate apertures and generous interior spaces; capitals feel stately and evenly spaced, and lowercase forms read steadily with a traditional two-storey “g” and compact, tidy joins. Numerals align with the text color, keeping an even, restrained presence suited to continuous reading.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine or journal layouts, where its steady rhythm and open counters support legibility. It also works for professional communications—reports, academic material, and institutional content—where a classic serif voice is expected.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a quiet elegance that reads as editorial and formal without feeling ornate. It conveys seriousness and polish—appropriate for contexts that benefit from heritage and credibility.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a refined, traditional texture on the page, offering enough sharpness in detail to scale up for headings while remaining comfortable in paragraph settings.
The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent text color with comfortable spacing and stable word shapes. The design favors clarity over flourish, with subtle detail in terminals and serifs providing character at display sizes while maintaining composure in paragraphs.
