A compact serif with relatively tall capitals and a restrained, text-oriented color. Strokes show moderate contrast with mostly vertical stress, and terminals end in small, sharply cut, bracketed serifs that keep the outlines crisp. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed, with tight counters that give the face an economical rhythm; the lowercase maintains a steady, even texture, while capitals read clean and authoritative. Numerals are lining and similarly narrow, with simple, readable forms and minimal ornament.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a compact serif can maintain a consistent, quiet texture. It also fits formal documents, reports, and publication typography where traditional letterforms and clear lining figures are preferred.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, conveying a composed, academic formality. Its compact proportions and crisp serifs feel institutional and editorial rather than expressive or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, space-efficient text serif that balances clarity with a classic printed character. Its moderate contrast and crisp bracketed serifs suggest a focus on dependable readability and an established, traditional voice.
Details such as the narrow crossbar on T, the compact bowls on B/P/R, and the tidy, slightly hooked ear/terminals on letters like a and f reinforce a conservative, print-centric style. The uppercase W and V are pointed and tight, supporting a dense setting without looking heavy.
