A traditional text serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and gently modulated strokes. The curves show a subtle diagonal stress, and the counters are open and round, giving the face an even, readable rhythm. Capitals are stately with crisp terminals, while the lowercase combines sturdy stems with softly rounded joins; the two-storey a and g reinforce its conventional book-serf structure. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying height with ascenders/descenders), blending naturally into running text rather than standing as uniform lining figures.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where sustained readability and a familiar serif voice are desired. It also fits formal communications—reports, academic documents, and institutional materials—where a traditional typographic palette is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and composed, projecting a literary, institutional feel. It reads as trustworthy and conventional rather than trendy, with an understated elegance suited to long-form content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose reading face: conventional letterforms, restrained contrast, and bracketed serifs combine to create a stable text texture. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests an emphasis on seamless integration of figures within prose and classical typographic conventions.
In text, the color is steady and moderately dark, with clear differentiation between similar forms (for example, I vs l vs 1) aided by serifs and varied proportions. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent upright roman with calm spacing and a measured, print-oriented texture.
