A conventional serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a classical, book-oriented construction with smooth curves, open apertures, and steady horizontal rhythm. Capitals are broad and well balanced, while lowercase features rounded bowls and a comfortable, readable texture; terminals tend toward gentle, slightly calligraphic finishing rather than sharp cuts. Numerals appear traditional and sturdy, matching the text color with clear shapes and consistent weight distribution.
Well suited to body text in books, editorial layouts, and reading-heavy documents where a familiar serif texture supports comfort and clarity. It can also serve headings and pull quotes when a traditional, credible tone is desired, especially in magazines, reports, and institutional communications.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting seriousness and trust. It reads as calm and established rather than trendy, with an editorial voice suited to long-form reading and polished presentation. The wide stance and open forms add an approachable clarity while keeping a formal, academic feel.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes legibility and a time-tested typographic voice. Its moderate modulation and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a smooth reading rhythm while retaining enough character for editorial distinction.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even typographic color across lines, with clean spacing and stable word shapes. Curved letters like C, O, and S stay smooth and controlled, and the serifs remain discreet enough to avoid a noisy texture at paragraph sizes.
