A conventional serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs, softly tapered terminals, and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms feel slightly calligraphic in their curves, with rounded bowls and a gentle, organic rhythm rather than razor-sharp geometry. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and open, while the lowercase shows compact, readable shapes with modest extenders and a clear, straightforward construction. Numerals match the text color well and keep the same lightly tapered, bracketed detailing at corners and terminals.
Well-suited to body copy for books, articles, and other longform reading where an even texture and traditional serif cues support comfortable scanning. It also works for formal documents, headings that need a classic tone, and print-forward layouts where a familiar literary voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its softened serifs and moderate contrast give it a composed, traditional voice that feels credible and familiar rather than showy. It reads as formal and established, with a warm, slightly humanist undertone.
The design intent appears to be a dependable, conventional text serif: balanced proportions, moderate modulation, and bracketed serifs that maintain clarity while adding a subtly traditional, print-like character.
In running text the font holds an even gray value with clear counters and a steady baseline, aided by restrained contrast and robust serifs. The italic is not shown; the sample suggests the design prioritizes text clarity over decorative flair, with small details (like flared terminals and bracket transitions) providing character at larger sizes.
