A conventional serif with compact proportions and a vertical, steady rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with fine, crisp hairlines and bracketed serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. The capitals are tall and relatively narrow, with sharp apexes (notably in A and V) and restrained joins that keep counters open. Lowercase forms feel traditional and slightly high-waisted, with a two-storey a and g, narrow bowls, and small, neat apertures; terminals are mostly straight and controlled rather than calligraphically flared.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a compact serif can preserve line length without losing a traditional texture. It also performs well in headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a classic, composed voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying formality and restraint. Its compact, crisp serifing gives it an editorial seriousness suited to traditional publishing, while the moderate contrast keeps it from feeling overly delicate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif with a compact fit and clear, crisp detailing. It prioritizes a familiar literary presence and a disciplined rhythm that supports continuous reading while still offering enough contrast to hold up in display applications.
Numerals appear lining and fairly slender, aligning well with the tall capitals for tables, headings, or running figures. In text, the font maintains a tight color and efficient horizontal footprint, emphasizing a composed, traditional texture over warmth or exuberance.
