A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, softly modulated strokes, and sturdy proportions. The forms read as oldstyle-leaning: round letters have open counters and gentle, calligraphic-style stress, while verticals remain steady and consistent. Terminals are mostly tapered and curved rather than blunt, and the serifs are compact with smooth joins that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Uppercase characters are stately and slightly wide, while lowercase shows comfortable readability with clear differentiation in letters like a, g, and e; numerals appear sturdy and well-aligned for inline text.
Works well for long-form reading such as books, articles, and magazines, where an even texture and clear letterforms support comfort at text sizes. It also fits formal communication—reports, academic material, and institutional documents—where a conventional serif voice is expected.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a calm authority that suits editorial contexts. It feels familiar and dependable, conveying seriousness without becoming overly rigid or ornate.
Likely designed as a general-purpose serif for comfortable, familiar reading, balancing traditional proportions with a clean, contemporary consistency. The emphasis appears to be on dependable paragraph color and broad usefulness rather than decorative distinctiveness.
In text, the spacing and serif treatment create a stable horizontal rhythm, producing an even gray value across lines. The design avoids sharp, high-contrast glamour in favor of practical clarity, making it feel optimized for continuous reading as well as restrained display settings.
