A compact, conventional serif with bracketed serifs and moderately modulated strokes. The letterforms show a steady vertical rhythm, relatively tight proportions, and crisp terminals that stay clean at text sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round characters kept slightly oval; joins and serifs feel firmly anchored rather than calligraphically loose. Lowercase forms read traditionally, with a two-storey a and g, and the numerals include oldstyle figures that descend and vary in height.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. It also fits formal documents, reports, and print-heavy interfaces that benefit from a compact, steady text color.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority and restraint rather than display flair. Its compact stance and classical detailing suggest an editorial voice—measured, serious, and dependable.
The design appears intended as a pragmatic, classical text serif: readable, typographically orthodox, and optimized for consistent paragraph rhythm while retaining a touch of traditional refinement in its serifs and stroke modulation.
In the sample text, spacing and word color appear even, supporting sustained reading. The ampersand is restrained and conventional, and the punctuation and capitals maintain the same sober, text-first character.
