A bracketed slab serif with sturdy, squared terminals and gently rounded joins into the stems. The letterforms show moderate proportions and a calm rhythm, with fairly open counters and a measured, even texture in text. Curves exhibit a subtle diagonal stress, and the serifs read as confident but not heavy, helping the design stay crisp at larger sizes while remaining composed in paragraphs. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and descenders that align visually with the lowercase.
Well suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, traditional texture is desired. It also works for magazine heads, section titles, and brand typography that needs a classic, trustworthy serif voice with a bit of slab solidity.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured and dependable, with an academic and editorial feel. Its slab serifs add a grounded, authoritative voice without becoming overly industrial or decorative, making the overall impression warm, traditional, and readable.
Likely designed as a versatile reading serif that combines traditional proportions with bracketed slab serifs to increase presence and structure. The goal appears to be a balanced, text-capable face that can move between paragraph settings and display sizes while maintaining a composed, editorial character.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly formal, while the lowercase maintains clarity through distinct shapes and consistent serif treatment. The ‘g’ is single-storey, adding a slightly more human, text-forward character, and the overall spacing and stroke endings support a steady, page-like color.
