A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a vertically oriented stress. Serifs are bracketed and relatively sharp, with tapered terminals that keep the forms clean and directional. Proportions run on the condensed side, producing a compact texture and a strong vertical rhythm, while counters remain open enough to prevent the design from feeling cramped. The lowercase shows traditional book-hand structures with a two-storey a and g, and figures appear oldstyle-like with varied heights and a flowing, text-oriented feel.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors, where a classic serif voice is expected. It can also serve in headings and subheads when a refined, traditional presence is needed, especially in layouts that benefit from a tighter horizontal footprint.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a reserved formality suited to long-standing print conventions. Its strong contrast and disciplined rhythm give it a confident, authoritative voice without becoming ornamental.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a conventional, text-first serif with strong contrast and a compact set for efficient composition. The detailing emphasizes clarity and tradition, aiming for a familiar reading experience with a slightly more incisive, contemporary crispness.
In continuous text the narrow set and contrast create a darker, high-definition color that favors print-like rendering. The design reads best when given a bit of breathing room in leading and tracking, helping the sharp serifs and thin hairlines stay distinct.
