A conventional serif with bracketed, gently flared terminals and moderate stroke modulation. The design balances rounded bowls with crisp, slightly tapered stems, producing a steady text rhythm without feeling rigid. Uppercase forms are proportioned for clarity and presence, with broad curves in C/G/O and a clean, open E/F. Lowercase shows a traditional, readable structure with a two-storey a and g, a sturdy serifed i/l, and compact, well-contained counters that keep color even in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning logic, with varied shapes and widths that blend naturally with running text.
Well-suited to body copy in books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts where an even typographic color and conventional letterforms aid sustained reading. It also fits reports, academic material, and other formal documents that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, suggesting established publishing and institutional contexts. Its restrained contrast and familiar proportions communicate seriousness and reliability rather than display-driven personality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: familiar shapes, moderate modulation, and consistent serif logic prioritize readability and typographic neutrality while still offering a classic printed-page character.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for continuous reading, with consistent serif treatment and smooth curve-to-stem joins that keep forms cohesive across sizes. The italics are not shown; the impression here is of a stable roman intended to carry long passages comfortably.
