This typeface is a conventional text serif with a crisp, high-contrast color and compact proportions. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with sharp terminals and a disciplined, upright stance. Stems are relatively narrow with pronounced thick–thin modulation, while curves (C, O, S) show smooth, controlled transitions and slightly pointed joins in places. The lowercase is steady and readable, with two-storey a and g, a relatively open e, and a slender f with a delicate hook; numerals are similarly contrasty, with a classic old-style feel in their curves and stress.
It suits long-form reading in books and journals, as well as magazine and newspaper settings where a classic serif texture is desired. The narrow build can help conserve space in columns, while the contrast and sharp serifs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and formal titling when set with adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography, academic seriousness, and editorial authority. Its sharp detailing and contrast add a refined, slightly formal voice rather than a casual or friendly one.
The design appears intended as a versatile, traditional serif for editorial and literary work, balancing compact economy with a refined, high-contrast finish and familiar letterforms for comfortable reading.
In text, the rhythm feels compact and vertical, with clear word shapes and a slightly emphatic presence from the contrast. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman, emphasizing a composed, print-oriented character.
