A traditional serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation that suggests calligraphic influence. Curves are generously rounded with open counters, while joins and terminals stay crisp enough to keep text sharp in paragraph settings. Proportions feel balanced and slightly compact in the capitals, with a steady rhythm and even color across lines. The numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varying heights and a descending 9, reinforcing a classical text-face construction.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, journals, and other editorial typography where a stable text rhythm and conventional serif detailing are desired. It can also serve in reports and academic layouts, pairing comfortably with a wide range of neutral sans serifs for supporting typography.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a familiar editorial authority rather than a display-forward personality. Its restrained contrast and rounded finishing details give it a calm, literary feel suitable for long-form reading and traditional settings.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, steady paragraph color, and comfortable readability, while adding subtle warmth through rounded curves and softly bracketed serifs.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and stable texture at larger sizes, with clear differentiation between similarly shaped forms. Serifs remain understated and well-bracketed, avoiding the chunky footprint of slabs while still providing strong horizontal cues for readability.
