A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clear thick–thin modulation. The forms show restrained, book-oriented proportions with moderate stroke contrast and a steady vertical rhythm. Capitals are stately and evenly weighted, while the lowercase uses traditional, slightly calligraphic construction with compact joins and sturdy stems. Curves are smoothly modeled, terminals are clean rather than decorative, and spacing reads even in running text, giving the design a composed, editorial texture.
This style is well suited to body text in books, magazines, and articles where a stable rhythm and legibility are priorities. It also fits academic or institutional materials, reports, and formal brand systems that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and serious, with a quiet refinement associated with print typography. It feels trustworthy and familiar, lending a polished, institutional character without appearing ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif: balanced proportions, controlled contrast, and traditional detailing aimed at comfortable reading and a timeless, print-first aesthetic.
The italics are not shown; the displayed roman maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment across letters and figures. Numerals align comfortably with the text color and appear designed for straightforward reading rather than display eccentricity.
