This is a traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly compact, with strong verticals and cleanly tapered terminals; the lowercase shows round counters and a relatively short-to-moderate extenders profile that keeps lines feeling cohesive. Curves are smooth and continuous, while joins and serifs are well integrated, giving the outlines a calm, resolved finish that holds up at both display and reading sizes.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features, where consistent texture and conventional proportions support comfort and clarity. It also works well for formal communication—reports, academic materials, and institutional documents—and can scale up for headings that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a quietly formal presence associated with editorial and institutional typography. It feels dependable and familiar rather than trendy, projecting clarity and authority without sharp aggression.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, highly readable text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions and balanced contrast. Its detailing aims for a polished, professional look that remains unobtrusive in continuous reading while still providing enough character for headlines and pull quotes.
The numerals appear traditional and proportional in feel, matching the serif detailing and contrast of the letters for consistent color in mixed text. Overall spacing and shapes suggest an emphasis on even texture and comfortable word shapes in paragraph settings.
