A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation, combining crisp terminals with a steady, readable rhythm. Proportions are balanced with open counters and clear apertures; round letters are smoothly drawn and verticals stay clean and stable. The lowercase shows traditional text-face traits (notably a two-storey “g” and a looping “j” descender), while capitals maintain a restrained, bookish presence with controlled flare and consistent spacing.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, reports, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headings and subheads that need a formal, established tone while remaining compatible with body text.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with an academic, literary feel that reads as trustworthy and established rather than decorative. It conveys formality and polish, suitable for serious content where typographic tradition is part of the message.
The design intention appears to be a dependable, traditional text serif aimed at comfortable reading and familiar typography. Its measured contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on producing a stable, classic texture in continuous copy.
Numerals follow the same old-style, text-oriented construction, blending comfortably into running copy rather than calling attention to themselves. The design favors clarity at paragraph sizes, with enough contrast and serif definition to hold a traditional page texture without feeling sharp or mechanical.
