This serif typeface shows a traditional text-face build with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. Capitals are compact and well-contained, with sharp, slightly wedge-like serifs and a restrained, classical stance. Lowercase forms are compact with a normal x-height and clear differentiation between straight and curved strokes; counters remain open enough for continuous reading while keeping a tight overall color. The numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders/descenders and varying heights), reinforcing an editorial, book-oriented rhythm.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is expected. It can also serve comfortably in headings and pull quotes when a classic, formal tone is desired, especially in space-conscious columns.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with an academic, literary feel suited to long-form reading. Its measured contrast and traditional detailing convey trust and seriousness without becoming overly ornate or decorative.
The design intention appears to be a dependable, traditional serif for continuous text, combining familiar oldstyle cues with a compact, efficient fit. Its detailing aims for a balanced, authoritative texture appropriate to publishing and institutional communication.
Details like the ball terminal on the lowercase “y” and the softly tapered joins in letters such as “n” and “m” add a subtle calligraphic flavor. The narrow set and tight vertical proportions create a slightly condensed, economical texture that can read distinctly “print” in character.
