This is a traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle skeleton. Curves are full and round with smooth transitions into stems, and terminals tend to be gently shaped rather than sharp or geometric. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented: capitals are sturdy with clear differentiation, while lowercase forms show a compact, sturdy rhythm and a modest x-height. Numerals are lining and serifed, with rounded forms and consistent weight distribution that matches the text color.
It is well-suited to body text in books, long-form editorial layouts, and other reading-intensive settings where an even typographic color matters. The sturdy capitals and classic forms also make it appropriate for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or academic materials that benefit from a conservative, established voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking familiar book typography and editorial conventions. It reads as dependable and established rather than trendy, with a warm, humane texture that suits long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiarity, readability, and an even page rhythm. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on comfortable continuous reading with a timeless, editorial character.
Letterspacing appears comfortable and the texture in paragraphs is even, with clear counters and stable vertical stress. The italic is not shown; the displayed style maintains an upright, composed demeanor suitable for continuous text.
