A compact, tightly set serif with tall proportions and narrow letterforms. Strokes are predominantly even, with only gentle modulation and a clear vertical stress, giving the text a steady, economical rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp, slightly tapered terminals that keep joins clean and counters relatively open for the width. The overall texture is dark and continuous, with a traditional text-face structure and a composed, upright stance.
Well suited to editorial layouts where fitting more characters per line is useful, such as books, magazines, and academic or legal text. It can also serve as a classic serif for reports and formal communications, especially where a traditional tone and efficient horizontal economy are desired.
The font reads as classic and bookish, projecting a calm, formal tone associated with editorial and academic typography. Its narrow build and controlled detailing lend it a restrained, no-nonsense voice that feels traditional rather than expressive.
Likely intended as a conventional reading serif optimized for dense setting: narrow proportions, steady stroke weight, and restrained bracketed serifs aim to deliver a reliable, traditional text color and a composed page rhythm.
The sample text shows a consistent, even color across lines, with capitals that are tall and dignified and lowercase forms that prioritize clarity within a compact footprint. Numerals match the serifed style and share the same narrow, vertical emphasis, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive.
