This is a traditional text serif with gently bracketed serifs, smooth transitions into stems, and a moderately modulated stroke. Letterforms show open apertures and rounded bowls, with a calm, even rhythm across the lowercase. The italic is not shown; the roman includes a two-storey “a” and “g,” a modestly angled “e” crossbar, and clear, conventional uppercase proportions. Numerals appear as oldstyle (text) figures with varying heights and descenders, reinforcing a book-oriented typographic texture.
It is well suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable reading rhythm are priorities. The oldstyle numerals also make it a good fit for text-heavy content that includes dates, measurements, and running figures within paragraphs.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a restrained elegance that reads as formal without feeling ornate. It conveys an editorial, academic character—meant to be trusted and read for long stretches rather than to shout for attention.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose book serif that prioritizes readability and a traditional page color. Its conservative construction and text-figure numerals suggest a focus on continuous reading and classic typography.
Spacing and sidebearings look balanced for paragraph setting, producing a smooth grayscale in the sample text. Detailing is clean and conservative, with small finishing strokes and subtle curvature that keep the design from looking mechanical.
