A compact serif with tall lowercase proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving stems a carved, calligraphic finish rather than a geometric one. Curves are smooth and moderately condensed, with small interior counters and a tight overall rhythm that keeps words dense on the line. Numerals follow an oldstyle pattern with varied heights and a traditional, bookish texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. Its compact proportions make it helpful for space-conscious columns and dense information settings such as academic or institutional material, and it can also serve for formal headings when set with adequate tracking.
The face reads as traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly literary, print-forward tone. Its narrow build and disciplined detailing suggest seriousness and credibility, while the gently calligraphic terminals add a touch of heritage and warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional, print-native reading experience with efficient line economy, combining classic serif forms with a compact rhythm for editorial practicality.
Uppercase forms feel stately and reserved, while the lowercase maintains readability through a relatively large x-height and clear serif cues. The ampersand and punctuation carry the same restrained, oldstyle character, supporting continuous text settings without calling attention to individual glyphs.
