This is a conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and a calm, even rhythm across text. The capitals are stately and open, with smooth curves (C, G, O) and balanced proportions, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies such as a two-storey “a” and “g” and softly modeled joins. Serifs are crisp and slightly flared rather than blocky, and the overall color stays steady in paragraphs, with clear counters and measured spacing that supports continuous reading.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, reports, and other long-form editorial layouts where consistent texture and clear serif forms help guide the eye. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, formal voice is desired, especially at moderate sizes.
The tone is classic and bookish, evoking editorial and literary settings rather than display experimentation. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with a traditional academic feel that stays understated in longer passages.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: legible, balanced, and conservative in its detailing, prioritizing comfortable paragraph setting over stylistic novelty.
Numerals appear lining with straightforward, readable forms; the “1” has a clear top treatment and the “7” uses a clean, angled construction. The italic is not shown, and the roman style maintains a restrained, text-first personality with no exaggerated terminals or decorative quirks.
