This is a classic text serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and slightly on the wide side with comfortable sidebearings, giving lines a calm, even color. Uppercase forms are traditional and well-contained; the lowercase shows open apertures and readable counters, with a two-storey “g” and a compact “e.” Numerals appear oldstyle with ascenders and descenders, contributing to a continuous, text-oriented texture.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, journals, and long-form editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits institutional communications such as reports, essays, and program materials that benefit from a conventional, credible typographic voice.
The overall tone is established and refined, with a distinctly editorial and scholarly feel. It reads as dependable and familiar rather than flashy, suggesting authority and clarity in longer passages.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose reading face: familiar proportions, clear counters, and restrained contrast aim to produce a stable, comfortable texture across paragraphs while retaining a formal, traditional character.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The sturdy, slightly flared terminals and softly cupped serifs help maintain legibility at text sizes, while the spacing keeps paragraphs from looking cramped.
