This is a conventional serif with bracketed serifs, softly tapered terminals, and moderate stroke modulation that reads more oldstyle than modern. Curves are full and rounded, with sturdy verticals and slightly flared joins that create a warm, substantial texture in paragraphs. The lowercase shows a traditional two-storey “a” and “g,” compact apertures, and a gently angled stress, while capitals keep balanced proportions and restrained detailing. Figures appear lining and serifed, matching the text color and rhythm rather than standing out as display numerals.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, articles, and journals, where its steady color and traditional proportions support comfortable flow. It also fits institutional and professional materials—reports, programs, and formal communications—where a classic serif voice is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting seriousness and stability without feeling overly sharp or mechanical. Its slightly calligraphic modulation and rounded forms give it a traditional, established voice suited to editorial contexts.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that echoes historical book types, emphasizing readability, a cohesive paragraph texture, and a conservative, enduring character.
At larger sizes the bracketed serifs and softly sculpted terminals become more apparent, while at text sizes the design prioritizes an even, dark-ish color and steady rhythm. The capital forms feel authoritative, and the lowercase maintains a familiar, highly readable silhouette.
