A refined serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp terminals and smooth curves, giving the letterforms a composed, print-oriented feel. Proportions lean traditional: capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase is compact with a relatively low x-height and clear, well-separated shapes. Numerals appear oldstyle (text) figures with varied heights and subtle movement, matching the face’s classic texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, articles, and magazine copy, where its classic proportions and steady rhythm create a familiar text color. It can also serve formal collateral—reports, programs, invitations, and institutional materials—especially when paired with ample leading and margins.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a quiet authority that reads as established and trustworthy. Its measured contrast and crisp serifs suggest editorial polish rather than display theatrics, making it feel at home in cultured, institutional contexts.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, dependable serif for continuous reading, balancing crisp detail with restrained contrast for a composed page texture. The inclusion of oldstyle figures reinforces an editorial intent and a preference for typographic tradition in running text.
Counters stay open in letters like C, e, and s, and spacing appears generous enough to keep lines from darkening at text sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a steady, upright voice with consistent weight distribution across caps, lowercase, and figures.
