This is a traditional serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and moderate stroke contrast. Curves are smooth and somewhat calligraphic, with soft joins and a calm, even rhythm that favors readability. Proportions are balanced: capitals are sturdy and well-spaced, while lowercase shows a gently rounded construction with a single-story “g” and a moderate, text-friendly footprint. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a more text-oriented texture rather than a rigid lining set.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even, familiar serif texture is desirable. It can also serve comfortably for reports, academic material, and other text-heavy documents that benefit from a conventional, readable tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking book typography and editorial composition. It feels formal without being stiff, with a warm, humanist undercurrent that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif: comfortable in long-form settings, with classic proportions and refined serifs that prioritize legibility and a familiar literary voice.
The italics are not shown; the displayed upright style relies on subtle contrast and refined serifs to create color on the page. The combination of bracketed serifs, open counters, and oldstyle figures produces a composed, traditional page texture that scales well into longer passages.
