A classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show oldstyle influence: rounded joins, subtly tapered terminals, and an easy, slightly organic rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Uppercase proportions are balanced and sturdy, while lowercase shapes are open and readable, with a two-storey “g” and a smoothly looped “a.” Numerals sit comfortably with the text, keeping consistent stroke modulation and understated detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits academic or institutional materials, reports, and other contexts that benefit from a conventional, trustworthy typographic voice. At larger sizes it can serve for headings when a classic, restrained look is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting established editorial typography and a calm, authoritative voice. Its softened serifs and modest contrast add warmth, keeping it feeling approachable rather than severe. The texture on the line is even and composed, lending a quietly formal, literary character.
This design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar printed feel. The bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and open lowercase suggest a focus on steady paragraph color and comfortable long-form performance while maintaining a timeless, scholarly tone.
Spacing and proportions create a steady text color, with clear counters and restrained details that avoid ornamental flourishes. The italics are not shown, and the sample focuses on upright text, where the face maintains a consistent, dependable rhythm across mixed-case passages and punctuation.
