A compact, text-oriented serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and slightly faceted curves that read as subtly chamfered at corners. Strokes are fairly even with moderated contrast, and the overall rhythm is disciplined and vertical, with tall capitals and a restrained, bookish lowercase. Terminals are clean and squared-off rather than ball-ended, and the font maintains a tidy, consistent texture in continuous text with clear counters and steady spacing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a compact serif texture is desirable. It can also serve formal documents, reports, and newspaper-style settings that benefit from clear letterforms and a traditional typographic voice.
The tone is traditional and institutional, evoking printed literature, academic settings, and older editorial typography. Its sharp detailing and compact stance add a mildly authoritative, no-nonsense character without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse text serif that prioritizes steady color on the page, familiar proportions, and dependable readability. The faceted details and crisp serifs add just enough character to keep it distinctive while remaining firmly within classic text typography.
Uppercase forms feel architectural, with angled cuts visible on rounded letters, while the lowercase stays pragmatic and legible. Numerals share the same crisp, squared finishing, helping tables and running figures feel cohesive with body text.
