A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with restrained width and clear classical construction, while lowercase shows gently calligraphic shaping with a two-storey “a” and “g” and compact, readable counters. Terminals are clean and slightly tapered, curves are smooth, and spacing reads even in paragraphs, giving the face a composed, print-like texture.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, magazines, and institutional or academic documents where a familiar serif voice and comfortable reading texture are priorities. It can also serve for understated headings and pull quotes when a traditional typographic character is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a calm, authoritative presence suited to traditional reading contexts. It feels formal without being ornate, projecting clarity and restraint rather than display-driven personality.
The design intention appears to be a dependable, conventional serif for extended reading, combining classical proportions with moderate contrast and unobtrusive detailing to maintain clarity across paragraphs.
The numerals follow the same editorial tone as the text, with clear differentiation and modest detailing that stays consistent with the serif treatment. In the sample text, the face maintains a balanced color and stable line rhythm, suggesting it is optimized for continuous text rather than headline dramatics.
