A conventional serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes. Curves are smooth and generously open, with a steady, readable rhythm and moderate, book-oriented proportions. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide, while the lowercase shows a traditional oldstyle skeleton with rounded bowls, angled terminals in places, and a clear, balanced texture in continuous text. Numerals match the text color and sit comfortably alongside letters, with simple, well-shaped forms and consistent stroke treatment.
Well suited to extended reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where an even texture and traditional serif forms support comfort and clarity. It can also serve for academic or institutional materials, reports, and other typographic systems that benefit from a familiar, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking familiar book typography and editorial traditions. Its calm rhythm and restrained detailing read as trustworthy and formal without becoming ornate, making it feel at home in serious, content-driven settings.
Likely designed as a conventional, general-purpose text serif that prioritizes comfortable paragraph setting and typographic familiarity. The moderated stroke modulation, bracketed serifs, and open forms suggest an emphasis on reliable readability and a timeless, book-centric character.
In the sample text, the face maintains even color across long lines, with clear word shapes and distinct letterforms. Serifs remain present but not sharp or brittle, helping preserve a smooth flow in paragraphs while keeping a crisp baseline.
