This is a conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, print-oriented rhythm. Capitals are wide and open with clear inner counters, while lowercase forms show oldstyle tendencies—most notably a double-storey “g” with a distinct ear and a “t” with a shaped top and compact crossbar. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are slightly tapered, and joins feel subtly calligraphic without becoming ornate. Numerals appear lining and proportional, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and familiar forms support legibility. It also works well for formal communications, academic materials, and traditional branding that benefits from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting clarity and restraint with a slightly literary, bookish warmth. It feels established and dependable rather than trendy, with enough refinement to read as formal in headings and comfortable in continuous text.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif: comfortable at paragraph sizes, conservative in its shapes, and consistent in contrast and serif structure to deliver a stable, classic reading color.
The serif treatment stays consistent across the set, with clean bracketing and confident horizontals that help maintain an even color in paragraphs. Spacing appears balanced for text, and the letterforms avoid exaggerated quirks, supporting a familiar reading experience.
