A classic serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms have moderate proportions and a steady, book-oriented rhythm, with smooth curves and softly tapered terminals rather than sharp, high-contrast hairlines. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and slightly rounded in their transitions, while the lowercase shows a familiar text-face structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a teardrop/ball-ended “j,” and a relatively compact, readable fit. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and a subtle, flowing silhouette that complements the text color.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even, comfortable text color is important. It also fits academic and professional documents, as well as print materials like brochures or programs that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, conveying credibility and restraint. It reads as calm and established rather than trendy, lending a sense of editorial seriousness and institutional polish.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, time-tested tone. Details like the softly bracketed serifs and oldstyle numerals suggest an emphasis on comfortable typographic color and a classic page texture.
Serifs are crisp but not brittle, with curved bracketing that keeps the texture smooth in continuous reading. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, with emphasis coming from the serif detailing and the classic proportions.
