A conventional serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The outlines show gentle, calligraphic influence in the way joins and terminals thicken and thin, while overall construction stays restrained and highly consistent. Proportions are balanced with open counters and a steady rhythm in text; capitals are slightly stately without feeling overly condensed or wide. Numerals are clear and text-oriented, matching the serif treatment and maintaining even color across a line.
Well-suited for continuous reading in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where even texture and clear letterforms matter. It also works for institutional communications such as reports and essays, and can handle headings when a traditional serif voice is desired without becoming ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting tradition and credibility rather than display. It feels familiar and editorial, with a calm, composed presence that supports long-form reading.
Likely designed as a general-purpose text serif focused on readability and an established, traditional voice. The moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim to produce a stable, comfortable texture across paragraphs while retaining a subtle, classical character.
Serifs are not overly sharp; they read as rounded and well-bracketed, helping create smooth horizontal flow. The italic is not shown, but the roman has enough modulation and terminal shaping to avoid a mechanical feel while remaining neutral in paragraphs.
