A serif text face with moderate stroke contrast and a steady, upright rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, softly tapered joins, and gently rounded curves, producing a cohesive, traditional texture in paragraphs. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and slightly wide, while lowercase forms are compact with clear counters and subtle modulation through stems and curves. Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging with ascenders/descenders), matching the text-oriented construction and reinforcing a book typographic voice.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired, especially in print-oriented design.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that reads as established and trustworthy. Its refined serifs and measured contrast suggest a traditional publishing sensibility rather than a contemporary geometric mood.
Likely designed as a general-purpose reading serif that prioritizes clarity and a classic page color. The combination of moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals points to a text-centric intent aimed at conventional publishing and editorial typography.
Terminals often finish with small teardrop or wedge-like shapes, adding a quiet calligraphic flavor without becoming ornate. The italic is not shown; the displayed style maintains consistent upright structure and a composed, print-first presence.
