A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and softly contoured joins, showing moderate contrast and a steady, bookish rhythm. The proportions are comfortably classic: capitals are broad and stable, while the lowercase is compact with clear counters and a moderate x-height. Strokes generally follow a gentle diagonal stress, and terminals often finish with rounded, slightly bulb-like shapes that soften the overall texture. Numerals align comfortably with the text, with clear, open forms designed to sit naturally in running copy.
Well-suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and familiar serif voice aid readability. It also fits academic or institutional documents, print collateral, and any setting that benefits from a conventional, trustworthy typographic tone.
The font conveys a classic, composed tone associated with print culture—measured, dependable, and slightly old-world. Its softened details keep it from feeling austere, lending a warm, literary presence suitable for long-form reading.
The design intention appears to be a conventional text serif optimized for sustained reading, balancing traditional proportions with softened terminals and bracketed serifs to produce a calm, continuous typographic color.
The letterforms favor clarity over display theatrics: bowls are generously rounded, serifs are sturdy without becoming heavy, and spacing appears even in paragraph settings. The overall color on the page is consistent, suggesting a design tuned for continuous text and comfortable scanning.
