A classic serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms feel broadly proportioned with generous counters and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly softened, while verticals remain firm, giving the face a balanced, traditional texture. The lowercase shows oldstyle influence in shapes like the two-storey “g” and the lively, ear-like terminal on “a”, and the numerals appear as oldstyle figures with noticeable ascenders/descenders.
Well-suited to extended reading in body copy, especially in editorial layouts, books, and long-form articles where a stable serif rhythm helps maintain comfort. It also fits formal documents and reports that benefit from a conventional, credible typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a quietly authoritative presence. It reads as dependable and editorial rather than flashy, suggesting print-centric, literary, or institutional contexts. Subtle warmth in the curves keeps it from feeling overly rigid or sterile.
The design appears intended as a conventional, all-purpose text serif: familiar proportions, moderate contrast, and robust serifs aimed at reliable readability across paragraphs. Details like oldstyle-style numerals and softened curves suggest an emphasis on traditional typesetting character rather than stark modernism.
Capitals are stately and evenly weighted, with a familiar serif-book construction and clear differentiation between similar forms. The sample text shows a consistent, comfortable color with slightly rounded joins and terminals that soften the texture without reducing clarity.
