A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a calm, even rhythm. Capitals are relatively tall and stately, with crisp horizontals and cleanly finished terminals. The lowercase shows a short x-height with clear ascenders/descenders, giving text a traditional verticality. Curves (C, G, O, Q) exhibit subtle calligraphic stress, and the numerals read as old-style in feel, with varying proportions and gentle modulation that keeps them comfortable in text settings.
Works well for extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif tone is desired. It also suits magazines, academic documents, and other text-forward materials that benefit from a composed, conventional typographic color.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting an editorial, literary character rather than a flashy or decorative one. Its restrained contrast and familiar proportions lend it a composed, authoritative voice suited to serious reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classical text serif that prioritizes readability and an established print tradition. Its proportions and moderate contrast aim to deliver a familiar, editorial voice with enough refinement for headlines and display lines when set larger.
In the sample text, spacing and serif detailing stay consistent across sizes, and the italics are not shown—everything reads as upright roman. The design leans toward a traditional text face with slightly elevated formality, helped by the short x-height and prominent capitals.
