A classic text serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic, modulated stroke. Capitals are open and steady with slightly flared, triangular serifs, while the lowercase shows a traditional two‑storey “a” and “g,” compact bowls, and softly tapered terminals. Curves carry an evident diagonal stress, and joins are rounded rather than abrupt, giving the face a smooth rhythm in continuous reading. Numerals appear oldstyle with ascenders/descenders and varying widths, matching the text-centric proportions of the alphabet.
Performs well for extended reading in books, longform articles, and editorial layouts where a stable text color and conventional letterforms are desired. It also suits academic or institutional documents and print collateral that calls for a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is bookish and authoritative, with a familiar, historically informed feel. It reads as composed and trustworthy—more literary and institutional than trendy—suited to content that benefits from tradition and clarity.
The design intention appears focused on dependable, conventional readability with a classical serif palette. Details like bracketed serifs, diagonal stress, and oldstyle numerals suggest a text-first face meant to feel established and comfortable in paragraph settings.
Spacing appears even and calm in the sample text, supporting dense paragraphs without looking cramped. The design balances crispness in the serifs with softened transitions in the curves, which keeps the texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
