A compact serif with a tall, vertical stance and tightly set proportions. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp hairlines and sturdier verticals, and the serifs are bracketed with a slightly flared, wedge-like finish that stays sharp rather than rounded. Curves are controlled and fairly narrow, with small internal counters and an overall economical rhythm. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains consistent, disciplined construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a compact serif texture is beneficial. It also performs convincingly for headlines, section openers, and literary titling that needs a traditional voice without feeling overly ornate.
The tone reads traditional and bookish, with a formal, edited feel suited to established institutions and print conventions. Its restrained contrast and compact texture suggest seriousness and authority more than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes compactness and a steady reading rhythm while retaining crisp, classical detailing for editorial credibility.
Distinctive details include a long-tailed uppercase Q, a two-storey g with a pronounced ear, and an f with a strong top terminal. Lowercase joins and terminals keep a crisp, slightly calligraphic tension, helping the face feel structured even at display sizes.
