A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show sturdy, slightly flared terminals and soft joins that create a calm, even rhythm, while rounded counters and subtly tapered strokes keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Uppercase proportions are classic and balanced, with a strong baseline presence; lowercase forms are open and readable with a clear two-story “a” and “g” and moderate ascenders and descenders. Numerals appear oldstyle in the sample, blending smoothly into running text and reinforcing a book-oriented color on the page.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where an even text color and familiar shapes support comprehension. It can also serve formal documents, institutional materials, and headings that benefit from a classic serif voice without looking overly delicate.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting printed matter and established institutions rather than a contemporary or experimental voice. It feels dependable and composed, with a mild warmth from its rounded shaping and restrained contrast.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose, print-first text serif that prioritizes clarity and continuity in paragraphs, using traditional proportions and conservative detailing to deliver a stable, authoritative reading experience.
Serif detailing is consistent across the set, with a slightly softened finish on many terminals that avoids sharp, high-contrast sparkle. The italic is not shown; all samples read as a steady roman suited to continuous reading.
