A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The capitals are proportioned with classical restraint—round letters like C and O are broad and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp and clean. Lowercase forms show open apertures and clear counters, with a two-storey a and g and compact, sturdy joins; terminals tend toward sharp, slightly tapered endings rather than blunt cuts. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, with oldstyle-like shaping in several figures (notably the 2 and 3) and a balanced, readable 0.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and familiar serif forms support comfortable scanning. It also fits formal communication—reports, academic materials, and institutional branding—where a classic, credible voice is needed.
The tone is conservative and composed, evoking printed literature and established editorial design. It feels authoritative without being ornate, with enough refinement in contrast and serif shaping to read as traditional and dependable.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for readability and a timeless, print-forward feel. Its controlled contrast, bracketed serifs, and conservative proportions aim to deliver a reliable typographic color across paragraphs and headings without drawing attention to eccentric details.
Spacing appears even and calm, producing a consistent gray value in paragraph settings. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates an upright roman with clear emphasis on legibility and conventional proportions.
