A crisp serif design with slender strokes and compact proportions, built around sturdy slab-like serifs that read as squared and neatly finished. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a clear vertical axis and restrained modulation, giving the outlines a clean, engraved-like regularity. Lowercase forms show tall ascenders and a relatively small x-height, while terminals and serifs keep a consistent, squared rhythm across letters and figures. Numerals appear traditional and text-friendly, integrating smoothly with the letterforms rather than standing out as strictly geometric.
Well suited for long-form reading settings such as book interiors, essays, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for literary or academic titles, pull quotes, and other editorial accents where a composed, traditional tone supports the content.
The overall tone is literary and composed, with a lightly old-world, editorial character. Its calm rhythm and understated detail suggest seriousness and clarity rather than display theatrics.
Likely intended as a text-oriented serif that combines a classic, bookish structure with clean, squared slab terminals for dependable readability and a distinctive editorial presence.
The face maintains a tidy baseline and even color, with the slab serifs providing presence without turning heavy. In running text the sharp serif cues and compact lowercase proportions create a distinctly traditional texture, especially noticeable in mixed-case passages.
