This serif typeface shows compact, slightly condensed proportions with a steady rhythm and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp terminals and relatively straight, confident stems. Capitals are stately and narrow, with a restrained, conventional construction; the lowercase has a normal x-height, compact counters, and a two-storey “g” alongside a two-storey “a”. Numerals appear text-like (oldstyle), with varied heights and a classic, slightly calligraphic contour that matches the serif detailing.
It fits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where a compact serif can maintain a consistent text color. The narrow capitals also work well for headlines, section headings, and captions when space economy is important.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking established publishing and institutional typography. Its narrow stance and tidy serif detailing give it a composed, authoritative voice rather than a casual or decorative one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for compact setting and clear hierarchy, balancing traditional serif cues with a clean, disciplined texture for editorial composition.
The forms lean toward vertical stress with clean joins and controlled curves, producing a sharp, print-oriented texture. Spacing appears fairly tight in running text, reinforcing a dense, economical color suited to columnar settings.
