This is a conventional serif with bracketed, moderately sized serifs and a steady, even color on the page. Strokes show clear but restrained contrast, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep counters open and readable. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or extended, and the lowercase has a straightforward, text-oriented rhythm with familiar forms (two-storey a and g, compact f, and a sturdy, slightly tapered t). Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with varied heights and descenders, supporting continuous reading in running text.
It suits extended reading in books, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and consistent text color are important. The oldstyle numerals also make it a natural fit for text-heavy documents that include frequent dates, measurements, or footnotes.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a distinctly literary, academic character. It reads as trustworthy and established rather than expressive or playful, suggesting a “printed on paper” sensibility.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional letterforms, moderate contrast, and measured detailing aimed at sustained legibility and an established typographic voice.
Capitals are dignified and stable, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that avoids sharp, high-contrast drama. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample paragraph, contributing to a calm texture and good line-to-line continuity.
