A compact serif with bracketed wedge-like terminals and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke. The proportions are relatively narrow with tall capitals and a firm vertical rhythm, while round letters show a restrained, slightly oval contour and clear vertical stress. Serifs are crisp and consistent, with well-defined joins and minimal flare, giving the outlines a clean, print-oriented texture. Numerals match the text color closely, with sturdy stems and traditional shapes that sit comfortably alongside the capitals and lowercase.
It performs well in book and editorial typography where a traditional serif voice and compact fit are useful, such as essays, reports, and academic materials. The sturdy forms and consistent serifs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and formal print layouts where a classic tone is desired without extreme contrast.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, leaning formal and authoritative rather than expressive. It conveys an editorial, established feel—more traditional and conservative than contemporary—suited to serious content and familiar typographic conventions.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiarity, density, and stable readability. Its restrained contrast, compact proportions, and disciplined serif treatment suggest a focus on dependable composition for editorial and book-oriented settings.
The font’s compact set width and strong vertical cadence create a darker, more concentrated text color, especially in continuous lines. Curves remain controlled and not overly calligraphic, helping maintain a composed, predictable rhythm in both display lines and longer passages.
