This serif typeface shows bracketed serifs with gently flared terminals and a moderate, traditional stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with rounded bowls and open counters that keep the forms readable. Proportions lean toward a modest x-height with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, giving the lowercase a compact, bookish rhythm. Uppercase letters are stately and balanced, while numerals are lining and appear fairly even in color, with classic shapes such as a rounded 3 and a more oldstyle-feeling 2 and 5.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, and other long-form reading where a calm, traditional text color is desired. It also fits editorial settings such as magazines and newspapers, and can support academic or institutional typography that benefits from conservative, familiar letterforms.
Overall, the font conveys a familiar, historically grounded tone—confident and composed rather than flashy. Its restrained contrast and traditional detailing suggest seriousness and trust, with a distinctly literary, print-oriented feel.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a timeless typographic voice. Its details aim to evoke established book and editorial typography rather than a strongly stylized display personality.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates consistent spacing and a steady texture across mixed-case text. The ampersand has a conventional, slightly calligraphic build that matches the serif language, and punctuation appears sturdy enough for continuous reading.
