A compact serif with gently bracketed serifs and softly cupped terminals, showing moderate stroke modulation and a slightly oldstyle, calligraphy-informed construction. Curves are open and rounded (notably in C, G, and O), while verticals stay firm and straight, giving a steady text rhythm. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g, rounded i/j dots, and a modestly sized x-height with clear ascenders and descenders; the numerals are sturdy and straightforward with classic proportions.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also works for academic or institutional documents, captions, and pull quotes that benefit from a traditional, composed typographic tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed book typography and editorial restraint. Its compactness and calm contrast feel formal without becoming ornate, lending a composed, authoritative voice.
The design appears aimed at dependable text setting: a conventional serif voice with compact proportions and restrained contrast, balancing readability with a subtly classic, print-oriented character.
Spacing reads even and deliberate, with relatively tight, economical sidebearings that keep words compact. Joins and serifs appear smoothly transitioned rather than sharp, which helps maintain a warm, readable texture in paragraphs.
