This is a conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and softly modeled curves. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with rounded bowls and restrained terminals that keep the texture calm. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies, including a two-storey “a” and “g,” open apertures, and gently tapered joins that create an even reading rhythm. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, combining clear counters with understated finishing strokes.
Well suited for body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an even texture and comfortable rhythm matter. It also fits reports, essays, and other professional documents that benefit from a conventional, authoritative serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, leaning toward editorial seriousness rather than display flair. It conveys stability and familiarity, with an academic, literary voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose reading serif: familiar shapes, moderate contrast, and careful serif modeling prioritize legibility and a stable page color over distinctive quirks.
Spacing appears balanced and conservative, producing a consistent grayscale in paragraph setting. Serifs are neither sharp nor heavy, which helps preserve clarity at text sizes while keeping a classic printed feel.
