This is a classic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke contrast. The letterforms show a humanist/oldstyle influence: round characters have a slightly organic stress, and the lowercase features gently tapered joins and terminals rather than sharply geometric cuts. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with open counters, a steady rhythm, and conventional spacing. Details like the two-storey “a,” the traditional “g,” and the gently curved leg of “R” reinforce a bookish, text-oriented construction, while capitals remain sturdy and restrained.
It performs well for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts, and it also fits academic or institutional typography where a conventional serif is expected. The sturdy capitals and clean numerals can support headings, pull quotes, and captions without looking out of place.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a calm, authoritative presence that reads as editorial and literary. It feels familiar and trustworthy—more classical than trendy—making it well-suited to content that benefits from gravitas and clarity.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, conventional text serif that prioritizes comfortable readability and a timeless voice. Its moderate contrast and humanist detailing suggest an aim to bridge traditional book typography with dependable everyday versatility.
Numbers follow the same oldstyle-leaning logic, with clear shapes and modest contrast that help them sit comfortably alongside text. The sample paragraph shows stable color on the page at larger sizes, with crisp serifs and a consistent baseline rhythm.
