A conventional serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle-leaning construction: rounded bowls, tapered joins, and smooth transitions that keep counters open. Capitals are steady and proportioned for text use, while the lowercase has a compact, readable rhythm with clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same restrained modulation and feel integrated with the text color.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture is needed. It should also perform comfortably in reports, academic material, and other document-driven typography that benefits from a traditional, unobtrusive voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quiet formality that reads as established and trustworthy rather than flashy. Its warmth and moderation suggest traditional publishing and institutional contexts, giving text an editorial, considered voice.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiarity, steady rhythm, and comfortable readability. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim to produce an even page color while preserving a subtly classical character.
Curves are drawn with smooth, slightly softened terminals, and serifs remain crisp without becoming sharp or aggressive. The italic is not shown, but the upright roman maintains an even, composed texture in paragraph settings, with punctuation and spacing that support continuous reading.
