A conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, even rhythm. The letterforms show gently calligraphic stress and softly modeled joins, giving counters a rounded, organic feel rather than geometric rigidity. Serifs are tapered and well integrated, with occasional ball terminals and subtly cupped stroke endings that add warmth. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with comfortable spacing and a clear hierarchy between capitals, ascenders, and a normal x-height; numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and stable text color are important. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and front matter when a classic, authoritative tone is desired, especially in contexts that benefit from oldstyle numerals in running text.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting credibility and restraint. Its calm modulation and familiar serif shapes feel at home in long-form reading, while the slightly lively terminals keep it from feeling sterile. The impression is formal without being ornamental.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional serif for comfortable reading and dependable typography across typical publishing needs. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and restrained detailing aim to balance clarity with a traditional, literary character.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. At display sizes the modeling and terminals become more noticeable, while in paragraphs the texture stays even and composed. The figures’ oldstyle construction lends a classic, editorial flavor in running text.
