This is a classic serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and gently modulated strokes. Curves are smooth and full, with a stable, slightly vertical axis and clean terminals that stay crisp at text sizes. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are broad and dignified, lowercase has a moderate x-height with clear ascenders/descenders, and spacing reads even and calm. Numerals are proportional and text-oriented, matching the letterforms’ moderate contrast and restrained detailing.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an even texture and traditional serif voice are desired. It also fits academic and corporate documents, as well as branding applications that need a credible, established tone without decorative excess.
The font conveys a composed, familiar tone associated with books and long-form reading. Its measured contrast and conventional serif structure feel authoritative without being ornate, giving it a dependable, editorial character.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose reading serif: conventional forms, moderated contrast, and bracketed serifs prioritize legibility and an even typographic color. Subtle calligraphic influence in the curves and terminals adds warmth while keeping the overall impression formal and timeless.
Distinctive cues include a double-storey “g,” a two-storey “a,” and a “Q” with a sweeping tail that adds a subtle touch of personality while remaining conservative overall. The italics are not shown; the presentation suggests a roman designed for continuous text with solid clarity and steady rhythm.
