A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and softly tapered terminals. The letterforms show a balanced, book-oriented rhythm with open counters and sturdy, slightly rounded joins that keep paragraphs calm and even. Capitals are stately with traditional proportions, while lowercase features a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact “e” with a firm horizontal bar, and a relatively short, robust “t.” Figures are lining and clearly drawn, with the “1” carrying a serifed top and the “2” and “3” finishing in confident curves.
Well-suited for book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where steady texture and conventional forms are desired. It also fits academic and corporate documents, captions, and understated brand systems that need a trustworthy serif voice without ornamental styling.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than decorative. Its measured contrast and familiar serif detailing suggest seriousness and clarity, with a subtle warmth that suits long-form reading.
The design intent appears to be a versatile, general-purpose reading serif: familiar shapes, moderate modulation, and conservative details aimed at clear, comfortable text setting across a range of sizes.
In the text sample, spacing appears comfortable and consistent, supporting smooth line flow without calling attention to individual glyphs. The serif treatment stays restrained—noticeably bracketed but not sharp—helping the font remain legible at larger and smaller text sizes.
