A compact serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a crisp, print-oriented finish. The proportions are relatively narrow with steady vertical stress and open, well-controlled counters that keep text color even. Uppercase forms are sturdy and conventional, while the lowercase shows compact ascenders/descenders and a two-storey a with a firm, structured rhythm. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with varied silhouettes that maintain readability in running text.
Well suited to extended reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a compact serif can carry dense information with clarity. It can also serve effectively for academic text and formal documents, and scales up cleanly for headings when a classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a poised, editorial seriousness suited to long-form reading. It feels established and trustworthy rather than decorative, projecting a classic book-and-newsprint sensibility.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse serif for continuous text, emphasizing dependable readability, compact economy, and a classic typographic texture.
Details like the bracketed serifs, the curled ear on the lowercase g, and the restrained terminals create a familiar text-face cadence. Spacing appears balanced and consistent across the alphabet, supporting dense setting without looking overly rigid.
