This is a classic text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes that create a steady, bookish rhythm. Capitals are broad and evenly proportioned with crisp terminals and clear internal counters, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic construction with round joins and gently tapered curves. The italic is absent here; in roman, details like the two-storey “a” and “g,” open apertures, and a modest, rounded ear on “g” support continuous reading. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders/descenders and varied widths), reinforcing an editorial, traditional texture in running text.
Well suited for extended reading in books and editorial layouts, where its even texture and open forms help maintain clarity over paragraphs. It also fits institutional and scholarly materials, and can serve as a dependable serif for reports, essays, and other text-forward compositions.
The overall tone feels traditional and composed, with a familiar academic and editorial voice. Its measured contrast and restrained detailing project reliability and seriousness without looking overly ornate.
The font appears intended as a conventional, high-legibility serif for continuous text, combining traditional proportions with subtle calligraphic modulation to produce a familiar, authoritative page color.
The design maintains consistent color across lines, with stable spacing and a calm baseline presence. Shapes lean toward humanist/oldstyle influences—especially in the lowercase—and the figures integrate smoothly with text rather than standing out as display elements.
