This serif typeface shows compact proportions with a relatively high x-height and moderately bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes exhibit clear but not extreme contrast, with tapered joins and subtly calligraphic modulation that keeps the rhythm lively in text. Curves are slightly pinched and verticals stay steady, giving letters a crisp, sculpted silhouette; the numerals follow the same serifed, bookish construction.
It works well for book interiors, editorial articles, and other text-forward layouts where a classic serif voice and efficient copyfit are valued. The strong serifs and clear modulation also make it suitable for pull quotes, headings, and formal printed matter when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a calm formality suited to long-form reading. Its tapered serifs and gentle modulation add a hint of old-world craftsmanship without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a slightly calligraphic flavor, balancing compact width and a tall lowercase for economy while retaining a familiar, authoritative page tone.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even texture and consistent color, while the compact set and tall lowercase contribute to efficient line setting. The italic is not shown; all examples appear roman/upright.
