A traditional serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and moderate stroke modulation. The proportions feel generous and slightly expansive, with a relatively large x-height and open counters that keep text clear at reading sizes. Serifs are crisp but not sharp, and joins and curves show a subtle calligraphic influence, creating a steady rhythm across lines. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and gentle curves that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited for book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, readable serif texture is needed. The oldstyle numerals and even rhythm also make it a good fit for scholarly material, reports, and magazine text that mixes letters and figures frequently.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking book typography and editorial seriousness without feeling overly ornate. Its calm contrast and familiar construction lend an academic, trustworthy voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for comfortable continuous reading, combining familiar book-era details with open, contemporary proportions for clarity in paragraphs.
Uppercase forms have a restrained, traditional structure with balanced weight distribution, while lowercase shapes maintain good openness and distinct silhouettes. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent roman texture with comfortable spacing and a smooth text color.
