A conventional serif with moderate stroke contrast and smoothly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show gently tapered strokes and softened terminals rather than sharp, high-contrast detailing, giving the black shapes a slightly warm, rounded feel. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with a sturdy, readable rhythm in paragraphs and a steady baseline presence. Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging), blending naturally with lowercase in running text.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve in academic or institutional materials, pairing cleanly with headings set in the same face for a cohesive, classic typographic palette.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a familiar, literary presence that feels established and dependable. Its softened serifs and moderate contrast keep it approachable while still reading as formal and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: restrained, familiar, and optimized for a stable paragraph color. Details emphasize readability and tradition over overt stylization, aiming for a timeless presence across print-like and editorial uses.
Counters are open and generously shaped, supporting clarity in dense text. The italic is not shown; the sample reflects a consistent upright texture with a comfortable, even cadence across mixed case and numerals.
