A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady upright stance. The letterforms show a balanced, book-oriented rhythm with relatively open counters and clearly defined terminals, producing clean word shapes in running text. Proportions are fairly classic, with compact, sturdy capitals and lowercases that read evenly; details like the double-storey “a” and “g” reinforce a traditional text-seriffed construction. Numerals follow the same restrained, print-like logic, maintaining consistent weight and presence alongside the letters.
Well-suited for body copy in books, long-form editorial layouts, and print-oriented documents where a conventional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings and subheads that need a classic, authoritative presence without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, leaning toward a familiar literary and editorial voice. It feels formal without being ornate, conveying clarity, authority, and a classic print sensibility.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes familiar forms, steady rhythm, and comfortable readability. Its restrained detailing suggests a focus on versatile editorial and book typography rather than stylistic novelty.
In the sample text, spacing and color appear even and stable, supporting multi-line reading. The serifs and terminals remain distinct at display sizes, while the moderate contrast keeps strokes from looking delicate.
