This is a text-oriented serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Curves show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle influence with softly tapered terminals and a steady, even rhythm across words. Capitals are proportioned and dignified with clear vertical stress, while lowercase forms keep open counters and readable joins. Ascenders are relatively tall, descenders are present but not overly long, and numerals align comfortably with the text color, producing a familiar, bookish texture at paragraph sizes.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and other long-form reading where a stable serif texture supports comprehension. It also fits magazines, reports, and formal brand materials that benefit from a traditional, dependable typographic voice, and can serve effectively for headings when set with generous tracking.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books, editorial typography, and institutional communication. Its measured contrast and traditional detailing feel trustworthy and composed rather than attention-seeking, lending a scholarly, cultivated voice to longer passages.
The design appears intended as a conventional, general-purpose text serif that balances tradition with clarity. Its bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and familiar proportions suggest an emphasis on readability and a refined, editorial feel across paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
Round letters maintain smooth, controlled curves, and the serifs consistently soften stroke endings without becoming heavy or slab-like. The italic is not shown; the roman’s upright stance and moderate spacing suggest a design aimed at sustained reading comfort and stable page color.
