A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. The letterforms show open counters and smooth transitions into serifs, with mostly vertical stress and slightly tapered joins that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and restrained, while the lowercase is clear and workmanlike, with a two-storey “g” and traditional serif shaping throughout. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and extenders that blend naturally with running text.
Well suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, familiar serif texture is desired. It also fits academic and professional documents, reports, and long-form reading contexts that benefit from a conventional, unobtrusive type voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness and long-form readability. Its calm contrast and familiar proportions project tradition, reliability, and a quietly formal voice rather than display-driven personality.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes an even reading rhythm and a traditional typographic feel. Its measured contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals point toward comfortable long-form composition rather than attention-seeking headlines.
In the sample text, spacing and color hold together well across mixed case, and the design maintains clarity at text sizes without looking overly mechanical. The oldstyle numerals add a distinctly traditional texture when numbers appear in-line.
