A conventional serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation that follows a subtly calligraphic axis. Proportions lean classic rather than geometric: capitals are stately with generous internal space, while lowercase has a modest x-height and clear ascenders/descenders that create a steady vertical rhythm. Terminals are softly shaped (often slightly cupped or tapered), and curves resolve smoothly into stems, giving the face an even, readable texture in paragraph settings. The figures appear to be oldstyle, with varying heights and several descending forms, reinforcing a text-first, editorial feel.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a stable, familiar serif texture is desired. It can also serve in academic and institutional communications, and as a supportive brand type for heritage-leaning identities when paired with restrained headings.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, literary character that reads as established and trustworthy. It suggests print culture—novels, essays, and institutional material—more than display novelty, while still retaining a bit of humanist warmth in the stress and terminals.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif: comfortable at paragraph sizes, traditional in tone, and shaped to produce consistent rhythm and clear wordforms. The oldstyle-style figures and softened serif transitions suggest an emphasis on classic typography and readability in continuous text.
Spacing and rhythm look balanced in the sample text, producing an even “color” across lines. The italic is not shown; all examples appear upright, and the design relies on classic serif detailing and moderate contrast rather than sharp, high-contrast drama.
