A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated stroke contrast. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: round counters with slightly diagonal stress, softened joins, and subtly flared terminals. Proportions feel comfortable and text-oriented, with moderate x-height, open apertures, and steady spacing that keeps paragraphs even while preserving a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Numerals appear sturdy and clear, matching the text color and serif logic of the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, articles, and editorial layouts where an even text color and classic serif structure are needed. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as reports, programs, and institutional communications.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone with a confident, institutional presence. Its warm, humanist detailing keeps it from feeling sterile, making it read as trustworthy and established rather than mechanical.
Likely designed as a conventional, versatile text serif that balances classic oldstyle warmth with enough weight and clarity for modern editorial use. The goal appears to be dependable readability with subtle character for typographic tone.
Uppercase forms have strong vertical emphasis and pronounced serifs that help create a solid headline texture. The lowercase shows distinctive, energetic details—such as a single-storey g and varied terminal shapes—that add character without disrupting readability in continuous text.
