A compact serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a steady, upright posture. The letterforms are relatively narrow with a tight rhythm, giving text a dense, economical color. Terminals are clean and restrained, with gently cupped joins and sturdy verticals that keep counters open. Lowercase proportions feel balanced with a conventional x-height, while the numerals include oldstyle forms with noticeable ascenders and descenders.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, journals, and other editorial layouts where a compact measure and steady color are useful. It also fits formal documents and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, editorial feel. Its disciplined proportions and familiar serif vocabulary evoke printed literature and institutional typography rather than display exuberance.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for sustained readability and an economical, space-saving set. Its restrained detailing and consistent rhythm suggest a focus on practical composition in print-like settings.
In the sample text, the face maintains consistent texture across long lines, and the narrow set helps fit more characters per line without looking condensed in a decorative way. The capitals read authoritative and stable, while the lowercase keeps a calm, conventional cadence suitable for continuous reading.
