A conventional serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. The proportions feel generously set, with broad capitals and comfortable spacing, and the curves show smooth, slightly calligraphic shaping rather than rigid geometry. Serifs are crisp but not sharp, with modest bracketing that keeps joins soft. The lowercase has rounded bowls and open apertures, while the numerals read clearly and appear in an oldstyle style with varied heights and subtle rhythm.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and reliable readability are desired. It can also serve headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a classic, traditional voice without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting steadiness and refinement rather than high-fashion sharpness. It feels familiar and authoritative, with a calm, composed texture that suits long-form reading and established brands.
Likely designed as a general-purpose text serif that prioritizes legibility and a timeless, conventional appearance. The moderated contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an intent to perform consistently in continuous reading while remaining confident and polished for editorial display.
In text, the face maintains an even color and stable baseline with clear letter differentiation. Curved letters (C, G, O, e) carry smooth, restrained contrast, while horizontals and serifs stay firm enough to support strong word shapes at display sizes. The ampersand and punctuation harmonize with the same restrained, editorial sensibility.
