A conventional serif with compact proportions and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered terminals and a steady, vertical rhythm that reads cleanly in continuous text. Counters are relatively tight and the overall fit is slightly condensed, giving lines a composed, economical color. Details such as the ball terminal on the lowercase “a” and the gently modulated curves reinforce a traditional, text-oriented construction.
Works well for book typography, editorial layouts, and other text-heavy settings where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also suits reports, academic material, and institutional communications that benefit from a conservative, established look.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting familiarity and authority rather than display-driven personality. It feels formal without becoming brittle, projecting a restrained, editorial confidence suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that delivers a familiar reading texture while maintaining crisp, well-defined serif detailing for print-like typography.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and stately, with a slightly engraved sensibility in the way curves meet stems. Numerals match the texty character, with clear, straightforward shapes that align well with body copy use.
