A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. The letterforms show crisp terminals and clean joins, with mostly vertical stress and generous, open counters that keep the texture airy. Capitals are proportioned for clarity rather than display drama, while the lowercase maintains compact, readable shapes with a two-storey a and g and a straightforward, legible italic-free construction. Numerals follow the same restrained, text-centric tone, blending smoothly with running copy.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where consistent color and familiar forms aid comfort. It also fits institutional or professional documents—reports, correspondence, and formal materials—where a traditional serif voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking established publishing and academic settings. It feels trustworthy and literary, with enough refinement to read as formal without becoming ornate or calligraphic.
The design appears aimed at a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, unobtrusive detailing, and a restrained contrast intended to maintain clarity and a steady reading rhythm across paragraphs.
Details like the bracket transitions into the serifs and the controlled contrast give it a polished, print-friendly color on the page. Curves are smoothly drawn and the spacing appears even, producing a calm, consistent paragraph texture in the sample text.
