A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letters show a steady, book-text rhythm with open counters and a slightly calligraphic flow, especially in the curved joins. Uppercase forms are balanced and stately, while the lowercase maintains familiar proportions with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Details such as softly flared terminals, a two-storey “g,” and oldstyle numerals contribute to a traditional, text-oriented texture.
This font suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and even texture are desirable. It also works well for formal communication—reports, academic material, and institutional print—where clarity and tradition are priorities, and can support headlines when a classic tone is needed without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its moderate contrast and restrained detailing feel composed and trustworthy, with a gentle elegance rather than sharp, high-fashion drama.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif that emphasizes readability and a familiar printed-page character. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and traditional figures suggest an aim for dependable paragraph performance with a quietly refined finish.
Serifs are consistently bracketed and not overly thin, helping preserve a smooth grayscale in paragraphs. Curves are full and slightly warm, and the italics are not shown; the upright has a mild, traditional liveliness without appearing eccentric.
