A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a calm, even color in paragraph settings. The design shows rounded bowls with subtle diagonal stress and clean, tapered terminals, balancing crisp details with soft curves. Proportions are traditional and readable, with moderate ascenders and descenders and open counters that keep the rhythm steady across continuous text. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights, reinforcing a book-oriented, editorial feel.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading environments where an unobtrusive serif voice is needed. It also fits academic and business documents that benefit from a traditional, dependable tone while retaining clear letterforms at common text sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed-page credibility rather than display-driven personality. It reads as composed and slightly formal, with enough warmth in the curves to feel approachable in long-form use.
The design intent appears focused on producing a familiar, readable serif for sustained text—prioritizing steady rhythm, conventional proportions, and restrained detailing over overt stylization.
In the grid, the capitals maintain a restrained, traditional structure (notably the serifed I and the balanced, rounded O), while lowercase forms keep a straightforward, text-first construction. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text support a consistent, measured cadence typical of comfortable reading typography.
