A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady text rhythm. The letterforms feel broadly transitional/oldstyle in structure, with smooth curves, restrained terminals, and a balanced mix of round and straight strokes. Uppercase proportions are traditional and stable, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and clearly articulated joins; the two-storey a and g reinforce a book-oriented, editorial texture. Numerals are lining in feel, with clear shapes and consistent weight that match the text color.
Well-suited to body copy for books, editorial layouts, and academic or institutional publishing where a traditional serif voice is expected. It can also serve comfortably for headlines and subheads when a classic, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting seriousness and credibility rather than stylistic novelty. It reads as calm and established, with a gentle refinement that suits long-form, information-forward typography.
The design intent appears to prioritize readability and conventional typographic manners: stable proportions, familiar serif construction, and an unobtrusive rhythm that supports continuous reading. It aims to feel trustworthy and timeless across common print and digital text settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even “page color” and clear word shapes, with punctuation and apostrophes that sit neatly in the flow. Curves and serifs are kept conservative, producing a familiar, dependable texture at text sizes while still holding up for headings.
