This typeface is a narrow, oldstyle-leaning serif with bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a gently modulated stroke. Serifs are crisp and tapered rather than blocky, and curves are drawn with a smooth, calligraphic sensibility. Counters are moderately open for the width, with rounded joins and a consistent rhythm that stays even across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Details like the angled crossbar on the “e,” the compact, looping “g,” and the sharp, poised diagonals in letters such as “v” and “w” reinforce its sculpted, bookish construction.
It suits book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially in sizes where its compact proportions help fit more characters per line. It also works well for headlines, publisher marks, and premium branding or packaging that benefits from a refined, traditional tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with a quietly decorative edge coming from the tapered serifs and lively, oldstyle forms. It reads as authoritative and literary—appropriate for settings that want a sense of heritage and polish without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to offer a compact, readable serif with oldstyle character—combining restrained stroke modulation with carefully shaped terminals to create a formal, literary texture that still feels distinctive on the page.
The numerals appear oldstyle in spirit, with varied widths and proportions that blend naturally into text. Capitals maintain a stately presence without excessive contrast, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through its terminals and softly modeled curves.
