A conventional serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a smooth, bookish rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with clear classical structure, while lowercase forms show open apertures and rounded bowls that keep paragraphs airy and readable. The italic is not shown; roman letterforms feature soft terminal shaping and a slightly calligraphic flow in curves, with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a modestly angled crossbar on “e.” Numerals appear text-oriented (oldstyle), with varying heights and a curving, slightly swashy “2” and “3,” reinforcing a literary, traditional texture.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture and comfortable word shapes are important. It can also support refined, traditional identities for cultural institutions, publishing imprints, and packaging that needs a classic voice without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is composed and scholarly, suggesting editorial polish rather than display flamboyance. It feels familiar and trustworthy, with a subtle warmth that suits long-form reading and classic branding.
The design appears aimed at dependable text setting with a timeless serif language, balancing classical proportions with gentle, humanist detailing to maintain clarity across continuous prose.
Spacing and proportions create an even grayscale in the sample text, and the serifs remain restrained rather than sharp or exaggerated. Curved joins and bracket transitions give the face a smooth, slightly humanist character that avoids looking rigidly mechanical.
