A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a calm, even rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with rounded terminals and gently tapered joins that keep the texture warm rather than rigid. Capitals show traditional proportions and clear vertical stress, while lowercase forms maintain a comfortable, readable stance; overall spacing feels balanced with neither overly tight nor overly open sidebearings. Numerals align with the same serifed, slightly modulated construction for consistent color in running text.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even text color and comfortable rhythm matter. It also fits academic materials, reports, and other formal documents that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, trustworthy, and subtly elegant. Its restrained detailing and familiar book-serif shapes read as editorial and institutional, suitable for settings where clarity and tradition are desirable.
Likely designed as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity. The moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for a timeless page texture that performs consistently across headings and body copy without calling attention to itself.
Serifs are clean and moderately sized, with noticeable bracketing that softens the silhouettes. The round letters (such as O and C) show a controlled contrast that helps maintain a steady paragraph texture, while diagonals and joins avoid sharp spikiness, keeping the overall impression polished and approachable.
