A conventional text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation that suggests a lightly calligraphic stress. The proportions feel balanced and readable, with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and gently tapered joins that keep counters open. Uppercase forms are stately and evenly built, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a two-storey a, a compact, looped g, and a slightly angled ear on the g that adds character without becoming decorative. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights with ascenders/descenders), reinforcing a bookish, continuous-text texture.
Well suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a stable, traditional serif texture is desirable. It should perform nicely in magazines, reports, and academic materials, and can also support restrained branding or packaging that wants a classic, established feel.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying formality and trust in a familiar, historically rooted way. It reads as refined rather than flashy, with a calm, composed rhythm that suits long-form reading and traditional editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose reading face: familiar forms, moderated contrast, and carefully bracketed serifs that prioritize clarity and a smooth, continuous text color over distinctive display effects.
Serifs are clearly bracketed and not overly sharp, helping maintain a smooth line in paragraphs. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the visible punctuation and forms suggest a design tuned for steady color and comfortable word shapes.
