A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. The proportions are balanced with a relatively generous x-height and rounded bowls, while joins and terminals show subtle, pen-like shaping rather than rigid geometry. Curves are smooth and slightly softened, counters are open, and spacing reads even across mixed-case text. The italics are not shown; the style presented is upright with consistent vertical stress and calm color on the page.
Well-suited for longform reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and clear serif structure help sustain comfortable reading. It also fits academic materials and print-forward design where a traditional, established typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial settings. Its softened detailing and moderate contrast feel approachable rather than formal, supporting a familiar, trustworthy voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text face: familiar construction, moderate contrast, and bracketed serifs tuned for continuous reading and consistent typographic color across paragraphs.
Uppercase forms appear restrained and sturdy, while lowercase shows gently modeled curves and modestly expressive terminals that keep long passages from feeling sterile. Numerals match the texty character, with clear forms and a consistent serif vocabulary that integrates well in running copy.
