A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that give it a steady, bookish rhythm. The letterforms show humanist influence: round shapes are softly drawn, terminals often finish with subtle teardrop or wedge-like details, and the overall color stays even without feeling mechanical. Proportions lean classical, with a relatively small x-height and clear ascenders/descenders; spacing appears comfortable and text-focused. Numerals are oldstyle figures, with varying heights and noticeable descenders (notably in 3, 5, 7, and 9), reinforcing a traditional reading texture.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for institutional or academic materials and other contexts that benefit from a conservative, established typographic tone.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking printed pages, academic contexts, and editorial typography. Its restrained contrast and familiar serif detailing read as trustworthy and established rather than attention-seeking, with a quiet refinement suited to continuous reading.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose roman for comfortable text composition, prioritizing familiar proportions, readable detailing, and a classic print-like texture. The use of oldstyle numerals and softly bracketed serifs suggests an aim toward traditional book typography and understated elegance.
In running text, the type maintains clarity through open apertures and distinct silhouettes (e.g., the hooked descender on Q and the differentiated shapes of I/J/l). Italics are not shown; the sample suggests a straightforward roman intended to perform reliably at text sizes.
