A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, softly sculpted terminals, and moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. Proportions are steady and readable, with open counters and a calm, even rhythm across lines. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed in character, while the lowercase shows traditional text-seriffing and smooth joins; the italic is not shown. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with varying heights and a slightly calligraphic flow, reinforcing a book-oriented texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and stable rhythm are preferred. It can also serve effectively in formal documents, reports, and headings that need a traditional, authoritative tone without looking overly ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking established editorial typography rather than display-driven personality. Its restrained detailing and warm, traditional shapes give it a dependable, academic feel suited to serious content.
The design appears aimed at delivering a dependable, traditional reading experience with clear letterforms and a measured, literary texture. Its oldstyle numeral treatment and moderated contrast suggest an emphasis on comfortable continuous text rather than attention-grabbing display styling.
Serifs are consistently bracketed and rounded rather than sharp, which helps keep the page color smooth at larger and smaller sizes. Stroke endings and curves are gently moderated, avoiding high drama while maintaining clear character differentiation in forms like G, Q, and the two-storey a and g.
