A compact oldstyle serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke modulation. The letters show modest contrast, with sturdy main stems and crisp, tapered terminals that create a lively rhythm in text. Counters are relatively small and the fit is tight, giving a dense, economical texture. Curves are smooth but not overly round, and many joins and terminals have a subtly sharpened, pen-influenced finish.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a compact serif can maintain an even, controlled texture. It can also serve effectively for magazine features, scholarly material, and formal print applications where a classic serif presence is expected.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a slightly antique, humanist warmth rather than a purely mechanical precision. It conveys seriousness and trust, suitable for editorial contexts where a classic voice is desired. The crisp terminals add a hint of character that keeps it from feeling anonymous.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif for continuous text, combining traditional proportions with crisp, pen-like finishing to add personality without sacrificing consistency.
Uppercase forms read dignified and slightly narrow, while lowercase details (notably the angled terminals and modest ascender/descender presence) reinforce a text-first design. Numerals match the serifed, oldstyle flavor and sit comfortably alongside running text, maintaining the same compact color and controlled modulation.
