A traditional text serif with bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a comfortable, open rhythm. Strokes show moderate modulation with gently flared terminals and subtly tapered horizontals, giving an engraved-yet-warm texture. The shapes are generously proportioned with broad capitals and open counters; curves are smooth and slightly soft rather than razor-sharp. Details like the diagonal leg of R, the flowing tail of Q, and the balanced bowl-and-ear relationships in lowercase create a steady, readable color in paragraphs.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and other long-form reading where a familiar serif voice and stable texture are desirable. It also works for editorial headlines and institutional branding that benefits from a conventional, trustworthy tone without feeling overly decorative.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a dignified, academic flavor suited to editorial contexts. Its softened modulation and rounded finishing give it a human, approachable character rather than a stark, high-contrast elegance.
Likely designed as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and an established, literary voice. The moderated contrast and softened detailing suggest an aim for comfortable continuous reading while retaining a formally serifed, print-oriented character.
The numerals are sturdy and clearly differentiated, with oldstyle-like curvature and pronounced serifs that help them sit comfortably alongside lowercase text. Uppercase forms read confident and traditional, while lowercase maintains a calm cadence with consistent spacing and dependable punctuation presence in the sample setting.
