A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently tapered stroke endings. The overall drawing shows moderate stroke modulation with a smooth, calligraphic flow, especially in the lowercase. Proportions are relatively compact with a noticeably short x-height and clear ascender/descender separation, giving lines a traditional, text-oriented rhythm. Counters are round and open (notably in o, e, and 0), while joins and terminals stay crisp without becoming sharp or spiky; the italics are not present in the sample and the roman remains steady and upright.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve in formal headings, pull quotes, and front matter when paired with adequate size and leading to accommodate the short x-height.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial seriousness. Its quiet refinement and familiar forms feel formal without being ornamental, supporting a measured, trustworthy voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, time-tested typographic color. Its moderate modulation and bracketed serifs aim to create a smooth reading rhythm while maintaining a polished, classical finish.
The uppercase has a stately presence with generous curves (C, G, O, Q) and a balanced, slightly restrained width. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel through their proportions and contrast, integrating smoothly with running text rather than calling attention to themselves.
