This typeface is a traditional serif with bracketed serifs, softly flared terminals, and a gently modulated stroke that gives the letters a rounded, comfortable color on the page. Counters are open and generous, and the curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) feel slightly organic rather than perfectly geometric. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a moderate x-height, and sturdy stems that keep the texture even in dense settings. Figures are oldstyle in feeling, with varied widths and a subtly flowing baseline presence that matches the text rhythm.
Well suited to body text in books, editorial layouts, and magazine articles where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works for academic or institutional materials, and for headings that need a classic, readable presence without high drama.
Overall it reads as familiar and literary, with a warm, humanist tone suited to long-form reading. The letterforms convey steadiness and credibility, but the slight softness in curves and terminals adds approachability rather than formality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established print tradition. Its moderate modulation and softly bracketed serifs aim to deliver a smooth reading rhythm while keeping the voice unmistakably classic.
The capitals have restrained, classical proportions and maintain a consistent serif treatment across the alphabet, producing a cohesive, book-type texture. Spacing appears comfortable and the shapes hold up well in paragraph settings without looking rigid or mechanical.
