A traditional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and sturdy proportions. Capitals feel broad and steady with clear, slightly cupped serifs, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influence—most notably in the two-story “g” and the overall softly rounded joins. The counters are open and the curves are smooth, producing an even, confident rhythm in continuous text. Numerals appear conventional and stable, with clear distinctions and a consistent weight that matches the letters.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and long-form reading where a conventional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively in academic or institutional materials, reports, and headings that need a traditional, credible tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting authority and editorial polish rather than flash. Its calm, measured shapes read as dependable and formal, with a familiar literary voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for sustained text, balancing traditional letterforms with sturdy details that keep the page color even and authoritative.
In the text sample the forms hold together well at larger sizes, with strong word shapes and clear differentiation between similar characters. The serifs and terminals are prominent enough to guide the eye along the line without feeling overly delicate.
