A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke contrast. The letterforms show a steady, text-oriented rhythm with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and carefully tapered terminals. Counters are reasonably open, and proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or extended, supporting even color across lines. Numerals and capitals read cleanly with classic, bookish proportions and a restrained, consistent detailing throughout.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture supports extended reading. It also fits reports, academic materials, and other formal print contexts that benefit from a conventional, unobtrusive text face.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a familiar editorial voice. Its shapes feel established and dependable—more classic than fashionable—suggesting seriousness and clarity appropriate for institutional or literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif with familiar proportions and conservative detailing, aiming for readability and typographic neutrality in continuous copy while retaining a classic, authoritative presence.
Serif detailing stays consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with smooth curves and controlled joins that avoid sharp, high-drama calligraphic behavior. The italics are not shown; the samples indicate a steady roman suited to continuous reading rather than display eccentricity.
