A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, even rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with rounded terminals and gently tapered joins that keep the texture lively without becoming ornate. Capitals are proportioned for clarity and restraint, while lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, producing a dense but readable color in paragraph settings. Numerals appear to be oldstyle figures, blending naturally with lowercase text and reinforcing a book-oriented tone.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and academic or legal-style documents where a familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also serve for headings and subheads when a traditional, credible voice is needed, especially in print layouts and classic brand applications.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, suited to established institutions and editorial contexts. Its measured contrast and traditional detailing convey authority and familiarity rather than trend-driven personality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose reading serif: traditional in construction, comfortable in continuous text, and visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The italics are not shown; the sample demonstrates only upright roman forms. The figures’ varying heights and extenders create a more text-like flow in running copy than lining numerals would, which can subtly soften a page and support long-form reading.
