A compact serif with sturdy proportions and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin pattern without becoming delicate, giving the letters a solid, print-oriented texture. Counters are relatively tight and the apertures lean toward closed, which concentrates the rhythm into a dense, even color. Details include beak-like terminals on letters such as C/c and a, strong vertical stress, and a generally conservative construction across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to printed body text where a compact, steady rhythm is desirable, such as books, journals, and long-form editorial layouts. Its firmness also supports subheads and headlines, especially in space-constrained settings that benefit from a dense, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial voice. Its dense texture and conventional letterforms feel serious and dependable, evoking established publishing and institutional typography rather than casual or decorative use.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif with a compact footprint and a strong, consistent presence. It prioritizes stable structure, traditional detailing, and an even text color for dependable editorial composition.
Capitals read stately with restrained ornamentation, while the lowercase keeps a robust, workmanlike feel; the two blend into a cohesive paragraph color in the sample text. Numerals appear similarly sturdy and legible, matching the weight and serif treatment of the alphabet.
