A conventional serif with bracketed terminals and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a steady, text-oriented rhythm with relatively open counters, smooth curves, and clearly defined serifs that add firmness without becoming heavy. Capitals are stately and proportioned for display clarity, while the lowercase maintains an even texture with a rounded, readable skeleton and a single-storey-style simplicity in several forms. Numerals align with the same measured contrast and sturdy serifs, producing a cohesive, print-like color in paragraphs.
Well-suited to body copy in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a steady reading texture is important. It can also support headings, pull quotes, and title work when a traditional, trustworthy voice is desired, especially in print-like or document-driven design contexts.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, evoking book typography and editorial conventions. It reads as composed and authoritative rather than decorative, with a familiar, institutional warmth that suits long-form reading and formal communication.
Likely designed as a general-purpose text serif that balances familiarity with firmness, aiming for dependable readability across continuous reading and structured documents. The measured contrast and consistent serifs suggest an intention to perform cleanly in paragraph settings while still carrying a classic, formal tone.
Serifs are consistently bracketed and clean, with terminals that stay crisp at larger sizes. The shapes lean toward a transitional feel: neither highly calligraphic nor fully geometric, prioritizing clarity and a stable baseline presence in text.
