A conventional serif text face with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, even rhythm. The letterforms show gently tapered joins and slightly calligraphic modulation rather than sharp Didone stress. Proportions are balanced with comfortable sidebearings, open bowls and counters, and clear differentiation between rounds and verticals. Uppercase forms are sturdy and composed; lowercase shows a readable, bookish texture with a two-storey “a,” a double-storey “g,” and a compact, well-contained “e.” Numerals are proportionate and text-friendly, matching the overall color and spacing of the alphabet.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice supports comprehension. It also fits academic, legal, and institutional materials—reports, essays, and long articles—where a traditional typographic tone is desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking familiar book typography and editorial seriousness. It feels dependable and cultivated rather than attention-seeking, lending a quiet authority suited to long-form reading and institutional contexts.
Likely designed as a general-purpose serif for comfortable reading and dependable typography, prioritizing clarity, balanced proportions, and an established editorial character over stylistic novelty.
Details such as the bracketed feet, slightly flared terminals, and restrained shaping of curves contribute to a warm, humanist-leaning presence while remaining firmly within a conventional text-serif idiom. The sample paragraph maintains an even “page color,” suggesting stable spacing and consistent stroke behavior across mixed case and punctuation.
