A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently tapered strokes. The contrast is moderate and smooth rather than sharp, with rounded joins and slightly teardrop-like terminals that give curves a warm, inked feel. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters and a steady rhythm across text; capitals are sturdy and slightly wide, while lowercase forms keep a traditional, bookish structure. Numerals appear oldstyle, mixing ascenders and descenders, which reinforces a text-first, editorial character.
Well suited to book typography and other extended reading contexts where an even, comfortable text color is important. It also fits editorial and magazine layouts, academic or institutional documents, and any setting that benefits from a traditional serif voice in headings and body copy.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying a familiar, trustworthy voice associated with books and long-form reading. Its softened details and moderated contrast add a humane, traditional warmth without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, moderate contrast, and bracketed serifs optimized for a stable reading rhythm. The oldstyle numerals and softened terminals suggest an emphasis on editorial setting and a classic typographic feel rather than display-driven styling.
In the sample text, spacing and color hold together evenly, producing a calm texture suited to paragraphs. Details like the single-storey g, the long-tailed Q, and the curved, angled terminals on letters such as a, f, and y contribute subtle liveliness while keeping the design firmly conventional.
