This serif features bracketed serifs with gently tapered stroke endings and moderate thick–thin modulation. Curves are full and slightly organic, with a steady vertical stress and a calm, even rhythm across text. Capitals are sturdy and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional, slightly calligraphic shaping—noticeable in the two-storey “g” and the subtly angled terminals on letters like “a,” “c,” and “e.” Numerals follow the same classic construction, with clear forms and balanced spacing that reads comfortably in continuous lines.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color is important. It also fits institutional and cultural branding, reports, and formal communications that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is conservative and bookish, with a familiar “print” voice that feels scholarly and established. It conveys trust, clarity, and a sense of tradition without appearing overly ornate or display-driven.
The font appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: readable at paragraph sizes, visually familiar, and shaped to produce a stable line texture. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on comfortable continuous reading and classic typographic conventions.
The design balances robustness with refinement: serifs are present and supportive without becoming heavy, and counters remain open enough for clean reproduction. In the sample text, the texture stays consistent, with neither overly tight joins nor fussy details, giving it a composed, text-first presence.
