A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Capitals are well-proportioned and relatively wide, with clean vertical stress and crisp, slightly tapered terminals; the diagonal strokes (V/W/X/Y) feel sturdy rather than calligraphic. Lowercase shows a compact, readable structure with rounded bowls and clear counters; the a is double‑storey and the g is single‑storey with a soft ear, supporting smooth text color. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights with ascenders/descenders), keeping the texture consistent with running text.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and consistent text color are important. The oldstyle numerals make it particularly fitting for narrative text with dates and figures, while the sturdy capitals can also handle headings and pull quotes without feeling overly decorative.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking editorial and academic typography rather than display styling. It feels dependable and refined, with enough contrast and sharpness to read as polished without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a classic typographic tone. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle figures suggest an aim toward comfortable long-form composition with a subtly literary character.
The spacing and curves produce an even gray in the paragraph sample, suggesting a design tuned for continuous reading. Small details—like the angled top on the 1 and the gently bracketed serifs throughout—reinforce a classic, print-oriented personality.
