This serif features bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a clear modulation between thick and thin strokes. The capitals are stately and moderately wide with crisp terminals and slightly flared joins, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with open counters and a two-storey “a” and “g”. Curves are smoothly drawn (notably in C, G, O, and S), and diagonals like V, W, and Y are sharp yet controlled. Numerals are lining figures with classic proportions and gently tapered strokes, matching the text color of the letters.
It is well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. The steady rhythm and open counters also make it a good fit for reports, academic materials, and other content-forward typography, while capitals and numerals remain strong enough for headings and pull quotes.
Overall, the tone is traditional and bookish, evoking printed literature and academic publishing. It feels composed and trustworthy, with enough contrast and refinement to read as formal without becoming ornate. The texture is even and calm, suited to continuous reading.
The design intention appears to be a dependable, conventional text serif that delivers comfortable readability and a familiar print-classic voice. Its moderate contrast and restrained detailing suggest it was drawn to perform consistently across paragraphs, headings, and numerals without calling attention to itself.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, producing a steady paragraph color in the sample text. The forms lean toward conventional text-serifs: sturdy stems, restrained detailing, and conservative proportions that prioritize clarity over display personality.
