A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Curves show a gentle, calligraphic stress, while stems remain sturdy and evenly spaced for paragraph work. Uppercase forms are restrained and classical, with crisp terminals and balanced proportions; lowercase maintains open counters and clear joins, keeping words readable at size. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with ascenders and descenders that integrate naturally in running text.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and familiar serif detailing support comfortable reading. It also fits academic and professional documents—reports, journals, and printed materials—where a conservative, polished typographic voice is preferred.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward literary and institutional settings rather than display flash. It feels trustworthy and familiar, with a quiet formality that suits long-form reading and carefully edited content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose reading serif: classic construction, moderate contrast, and unobtrusive details that prioritize legibility and a stable paragraph color.
In the sample text, spacing and word color stay even, with punctuation and capitals sitting cleanly in the line. The design favors clarity over characterful quirks, producing a composed page texture suitable for sustained reading.
