This serif typeface shows moderate contrast with smooth, bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. The proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with open counters and a steady rhythm that reads comfortably in continuous setting. Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase includes oldstyle characteristics such as a two-storey “a” and “g,” a left-leaning italic-style “j” form, and softly tapered terminals. Numerals appear lining and fairly even in color, matching the text weight and maintaining clear, conventional shapes.
Well suited for book typography and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also fits academic or institutional materials, reports, and formal communications, and can handle display-sized headlines when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
Overall, it conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, established, and slightly old-world. The detailing suggests editorial seriousness and a sense of tradition, making it feel at home in content that aims to be credible and composed.
The type appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for sustained reading and dependable, familiar typography. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim for a stable page color and a classic editorial presence rather than overt stylization.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with rounded joins and restrained terminals that keep the texture even. Diacritics and punctuation in the sample text sit cleanly without drawing attention, supporting long-form readability.
