A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and softly modeled strokes that suggest a calligraphic underpinning rather than a purely geometric construction. The capitals are broad and steady with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows rounded forms, slightly tapered terminals, and a clear, readable rhythm. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and e) are full and smooth, and the joins in letters like n, m, and h feel sturdy and slightly weighty. Numerals are lining and substantial, matching the text weight and maintaining consistent color across mixed content.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and consistent texture are important. It can also carry subheads and headlines effectively thanks to its broad capitals and sturdy lowercase, keeping clarity in mixed-case settings and with numerals.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority and familiarity without feeling ornate. It reads as dependable and editorial, with a quiet warmth from the gently bracketed serifs and rounded counters.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif: comfortable to read, visually stable, and appropriate for standard publishing contexts. Its moderate contrast and bracketed detailing aim for a balanced, timeless impression rather than display-driven personality.
In the sample text, the face maintains even texture at larger sizes, with strong word shapes and a firm baseline presence. The italic is not shown; all examples appear roman/upright.
