A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, softly modulated strokes, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The forms show oldstyle influence in the lowercase: a two-storey “g” with a pronounced ear, a gently slanted crossbar on “e,” and rounded joins that keep counters open. Capitals are sturdy and slightly narrow, with crisp terminals and clear serif structure; diagonals on letters like V, W, and Y are clean and balanced. Numerals are lining and well-proportioned, with the 1 featuring a small top flag and the 4 showing an open form, reinforcing a traditional text setting feel.
Well-suited for body copy in books, journals, and magazine layouts where an even text color and familiar letterforms support comfortable reading. It can also serve for captions, reports, and other editorial contexts that benefit from a traditional, dependable serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and trustworthy, with a quiet authority typical of long-form reading typography. Its measured contrast and restrained detailing convey a mature, editorial voice rather than a decorative or attention-seeking one.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose literary serif: conservative in structure, optimized for continuous reading, and shaped to deliver a calm, consistent page texture across mixed case and numerals.
In the sample text, spacing and color appear even, producing a consistent texture across lines. The italic is not shown; all displayed forms read as upright roman with controlled stroke modulation and traditional serif finishing.
