A compact serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a sturdy, even rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with generally vertical stress, producing clear thick stems and finer connecting strokes without becoming delicate. Proportions are relatively tight, with short extenders and a controlled, conventional letterfit that keeps lines feeling dense and efficient. Curves are smooth and confident, terminals are mostly serifed rather than calligraphic, and the overall drawing reads clean and businesslike in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to body text in books, magazines, and newspaper-style layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The compact proportions also work effectively for reports, academic documents, and dense information settings where space economy and a traditional tone matter.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness rather than charm or playfulness. Its compact spacing and assertive serifs give it a slightly old-style, bookish presence that feels at home in formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a compact footprint and a firm, authoritative voice. It prioritizes familiar shapes and stable rhythm to support long-form reading and structured typography.
The typeface maintains consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping long passages hold together. Numerals appear lining and share the same solid, conventional construction, supporting clear hierarchy in tables or headings.
