A conventional serif with slender proportions and a crisp, print-oriented finish. Strokes show moderate contrast with mostly vertical stress, and the serifs are small and bracketed, often ending in sharp, slightly flared terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and corners stay clean, giving the type a tidy rhythm in continuous text. The lowercase is compact with a modest x-height and relatively long ascenders, and the numerals follow the same restrained, bookish tone.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works for magazine typography and formal print materials, and can serve as a dependable choice for headings when a classic, restrained look is needed.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and careful editorial composition. It feels formal and composed rather than expressive, with a quiet authority suited to serious reading and reference material.
Likely designed to be a familiar, highly readable text serif with a compact footprint and traditional detailing. The goal appears to balance economy and clarity while maintaining a refined, conventional typographic color on the page.
In the samples, spacing and rhythm favor text setting: counters remain open, and the narrow letterforms keep paragraphs economical without appearing compressed. Details like the sharp terminals and bracketed serifs add a slightly incisive, engraved-like crispness at larger sizes.
