This typeface is a compact, traditional serif with clearly bracketed serifs and a disciplined, print-like rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with predominantly vertical stress, producing strong stems and clean hairlines without feeling delicate. Proportions are slightly condensed and vertically oriented, with tall capitals and firm, straight-sided forms (notably in H, N, and U) balanced by rounded bowls. Lowercase counters are relatively open for the width, and details like the two-storey a and g, the sharp, tapered joins on v/w, and the compact, sturdy numerals reinforce a conventional text-serif construction.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, articles, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also serve for headings, reports, and academic or institutional materials that benefit from a compact, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and serious, with a bookish, editorial presence that reads as established and trustworthy. Its compact proportions and crisp serif finishing lend an efficient, no-nonsense voice suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, space-efficient serif for comfortable reading and dependable typography. Its restrained contrast and classic detailing prioritize clarity and tradition over stylistic novelty.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates consistent texture at larger sizes, with slightly tight letterspacing and a strong baseline. The figures appear lining and sturdy, and punctuation is straightforward, supporting a traditional reading flow.
