A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that read as moderate contrast. Letterforms show a humanist/oldstyle lean: rounded bowls with a slightly diagonal stress, open apertures, and softly tapered terminals. Capitals are proportioned for text use rather than display, with sturdy verticals and restrained flare at the serifs. Lowercase features a double-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a rounded ear, and compact, readable counters; numerals are lining with smooth curves and balanced widths.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also fits reports, academic material, and other formal documents that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying authority without feeling severe. Its calm rhythm and traditional detailing suggest a literary, editorial voice suited to long-form reading and formal communication.
Likely designed as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, moderate contrast, and conservative detailing combine to deliver comfortable readability and a timeless typographic color.
In text, spacing appears even and steady, producing a smooth horizontal flow. Curves and joins are kept conservative, emphasizing clarity over stylization, while small calligraphic inflections (notably in terminals and the “g”) add warmth and familiarity.
