This is a traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. The letterforms feel slightly oldstyle in construction, with generous curves, softly tapered joins, and rounded terminals that keep the texture smooth. Capitals are solid and stately (notably the broad, open C and the round O), while the lowercase shows clear differentiation and sturdy proportions; the two-storey a and g, compact e, and straight, well-anchored stems contribute to a dependable reading color. Numerals align with the same classic treatment, with rounded bowls and clear, conventional shapes that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other reading-heavy settings where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve formal documents and institutional communications, especially in print or large blocks of text where its steady rhythm and conventional shapes support comfortable scanning.
The overall tone is literary and established, evoking printed books, academic settings, and editorial typography. It reads as calm and authoritative rather than fashionable, with a quietly formal presence suited to long-form content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif: familiar forms, moderate contrast, and balanced proportions aimed at sustained readability and a timeless typographic voice.
Stroke endings and serifs are consistently rounded and slightly cushioned, which softens contrast and reduces sparkle in paragraphs. Spacing appears even and conservative, producing a stable, continuous text color in the sample setting.
