A traditional serif with gently bracketed serifs and softly flared terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with subtly calligraphic modulation, producing a steady, bookish rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with broad, rounded bowls and restrained detailing, while lowercase forms keep a comfortable, readable structure with clear counters and modest apertures. Numerals are lining and text-friendly, with familiar, sturdy shapes that sit evenly alongside the letters.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfort and clarity. It also fits formal print collateral—programs, invitations, institutional communications—where a traditional tone is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, credible presence suited to formal communication. Its slight warmth and humanist stress keep it from feeling overly rigid, suggesting a dependable, cultivated voice rather than a sharp, modern one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established, time-tested typographic voice. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim to create an even page color and reliable performance across paragraphs and headings.
Notable are the curved, tapering terminals on several letters and the gently sculpted joins that give the texture a subtly hand-informed feel. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes an even color and steady spacing in continuous reading.
