A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and an even, book-oriented rhythm. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with crisp, wedge-like terminals and clean joins, while lowercase shows oldstyle influence with a two-storey “a,” open counters, and a gently diagonal stress in rounded forms. Serifs are firm but not slabby, giving strokes a tidy finish and helping word shapes read cleanly in running text. Figures appear proportional and serifed, aligning well with the text color in paragraph settings.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also fits formal communication—reports, academic material, and institutional collateral—where a classic typographic tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a literary, print-forward feel. It conveys seriousness and clarity without feeling ornate, making it suited to contexts that benefit from a calm, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif: readable in paragraphs, familiar in structure, and balanced between crisp detail and restrained contrast to maintain a steady typographic color.
Texture in the sample paragraph stays consistent, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably in the capitals and the serifed numerals). The ampersand is compact and classic, and punctuation maintains the same crisp, bracketed treatment as the letterforms.
