A conventional serif with bracketed wedge serifs and subtly modulated strokes that keep a steady, bookish rhythm. The letterforms show slightly calligraphic construction, with rounded joins, softly tapered terminals, and a mild diagonal stress in bowls and curves. Uppercase proportions are balanced and traditional, while the lowercase keeps open apertures and sturdy stems; overall spacing reads even and comfortable in continuous text. Numerals are lining and clear, matching the same restrained contrast and serif treatment for consistent color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice is desired. It also fits academic or institutional materials and can lend a classic tone to brand identities, packaging, or pull quotes where a touch of print texture is welcome.
The tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, institutional communication, and editorial typography. Its restrained detailing and familiar shapes feel trustworthy and quietly formal rather than attention-seeking.
Likely intended as a versatile, traditional text serif with gentle historical cues and a hint of printed texture, balancing readability with a slightly characterful surface.
Edges and terminals have a subtly worn, inked texture that adds a lightly vintage, press-like character, especially noticeable at larger sizes. Despite the texture, counters remain clean and legible, preserving a stable text color.
