A compact serif with tall proportions, pronounced vertical stress, and clear thick–thin modulation. Serifs are finely bracketed and relatively sharp, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel without becoming spiky. Capitals appear sturdy and formal with restrained curves, while the lowercase shows a conventional, bookish construction; the two-storey “a” and “g” read clearly, and counters stay fairly tight for an economical rhythm. Numerals are similarly narrow and high-contrast, with ample differentiation and steady alignment across the set.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a compact measure is useful. It also performs convincingly for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired, particularly in print-like compositions.
The overall tone is serious and editorial, leaning toward classic publishing and institutional communication. Its compactness and contrast convey authority and refinement, suggesting tradition more than novelty.
The design appears intended as a conventional, space-efficient text serif that maintains a refined, high-contrast look for editorial typography. Its restrained detailing and vertical rhythm suggest a focus on readability and a classic publishing aesthetic.
The texture in paragraph setting is dense and vertical, with strong stems and relatively modest sidebearings that reinforce a narrow, column-friendly color. The contrast is noticeable in both text and display sizes, so it benefits from sufficient size and leading to keep fine details from feeling busy.
