A conventional serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, with clean curves and moderate proportions, while lowercase forms show oldstyle influences such as a two-storey “a” and “g,” a generous “e,” and softly tapered terminals. Spacing appears even and readable in paragraph settings, with round letters staying smooth and controlled and joins remaining crisp without feeling sharp or mechanical.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a familiar serif texture supports comprehension. It also fits headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying a composed, educated voice suited to traditional reading. Its restrained contrast and familiar serif detailing give it a trustworthy, editorial character rather than a decorative or experimental one.
Likely designed as a dependable text serif that balances classical proportions with modern cleanliness, aiming for comfortable readability and an established, publication-ready voice.
In the sample text, the face maintains clarity at larger sizes and keeps a consistent color across lines. Figures appear straightforward and book-oriented, matching the reserved temperament of the letters without calling attention to themselves.
