A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a smooth, slightly calligraphic transition between stems and curves. The capitals are well-proportioned and stately, with rounded bowls and sturdy verticals, while the lowercase shows oldstyle traits such as a two-storey “a,” a double-storey “g,” and gently modulated joins. Counters are open and the rhythm is even, with rounded terminals and calm, consistent detailing that reads cleanly at text sizes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, magazines, essays, and reports where an established serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headings and subheads that need a traditional, authoritative tone without becoming overly ornamental.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, leaning toward a familiar literary voice rather than a trendy display personality. It conveys formality and trust through traditional proportions and restrained contrast, giving text a composed, editorial presence.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, conventional text serif with familiar forms and comfortable spacing, optimizing for readability and an unobtrusive page color. Its measured contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an emphasis on versatility across editorial and publishing contexts.
Figure forms appear traditional and readable, with clear differentiation and balanced widths that suit continuous reading. The italic is not shown, but the roman’s modest modulation and bracketed serifs provide a comfortable, steady texture in paragraphs.
