A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic stress, with rounded joins and smooth transitions between thick and thin strokes rather than sharp Didone-like contrast. Proportions lean toward traditional book faces: generous bowls and open counters, a steady rhythm, and a balanced, readable texture in paragraph settings. The lowercase has a two-storey “a” and “g,” modest ascenders/descenders, and the numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with varying heights and some descenders.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and traditional serif cues aid comprehension. It also fits formal communications—reports, programs, and institutional materials—where a conservative, established typographic tone is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish and quiet authority. It feels familiar and dependable—more bookish than fashionable—suited to content that benefits from a traditional voice.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiarity, readability, and a classic printed-page feel, including text figures that integrate smoothly into running copy.
Capital forms are stately with restrained detailing, while the lowercase maintains an even, calm flow across lines. The italics are not shown; the sample demonstrates the roman’s strong legibility and even color at larger text sizes.
