A traditional serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation, giving stems a gently calligraphic feel without becoming high-contrast. The letterforms lean toward oldstyle proportions: rounded bowls, softly tapered joins, and a steady, comfortable rhythm across text. Uppercase shapes are dignified and open, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a balanced x-height. Numerals and punctuation sit cleanly on the baseline with consistent spacing and a composed, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to body text in books, long-form editorial, and print-forward layouts where a conventional serif texture is desired. It can also serve comfortably for headlines and pull quotes when a classic, literary voice is appropriate, especially in contexts that benefit from a familiar, trustworthy typographic presence.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quiet authority suited to editorial and institutional contexts. Its moderate contrast and restrained detailing read as refined rather than decorative, conveying familiarity and credibility in longer passages.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a traditional page color. Its detailing suggests a focus on timeless typography—structured and conservative, with enough modulation to keep paragraphs lively without drawing attention away from the content.
Curves and terminals are handled with subtle, smooth transitions, avoiding sharp or exaggerated gestures. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a stable roman that maintains clarity at text sizes while still offering enough detail to feel crafted.
