A conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs and softly tapered terminals that give the strokes a subtly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor. The proportions are sturdy and readable, with moderate stroke modulation and rounded joins that keep forms from feeling brittle. Counters are open and evenly shaped, and the lowercase shows a single-storey g with a generous ear and a compact, slightly angled stress across bowls. Numerals sit comfortably with the text, with smooth curves and stable verticals suited to continuous reading.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and magazines where a familiar serif texture improves scanning and comfort. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, slightly old-world texture that feels at home in editorial and academic settings. It reads as dependable and formal rather than stylized, projecting authority without looking stiff.
The design appears intended as a reliable, general-purpose text serif: traditional proportions, moderate modulation, and bracketed serifs combine to deliver a familiar page color and strong readability in paragraphs while remaining presentable for display use.
In the text sample, the face maintains an even rhythm and consistent color, with serifs that help guide the eye along the line. The capitals have a classic Roman presence, while the lowercase remains lively through tapered strokes and rounded terminals.
