A compact serif with bracketed, slightly flared terminals and moderate stroke modulation. Curves are round and open, while joins and diagonals show subtle calligraphic influence, giving the outlines a lively, slightly angular rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively narrow with crisp serifs; the lowercase is compact with a short x-height, prominent ascenders, and traditional two-storey structures where expected. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning construction, with clear contrast and tapered endings that keep text color even without feeling rigid.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a traditional serif voice is appropriate. It can also serve for branding and headings that want a classic, cultured tone, especially when set with generous leading to offset the compact x-height.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, slightly formal voice suited to editorial settings. Small calligraphic inflections add warmth and personality, keeping it from feeling purely mechanical or sterile.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, dependable text serif with a compact footprint and subtle calligraphic character. Its proportions and moderated contrast aim for sustained readability while preserving a distinctly classic, print-oriented feel.
In the text sample, spacing and stroke rhythm produce an even, readable texture, while the compact proportions create an efficient line that can feel dense in long passages. The forms balance classic serif conventions with modest idiosyncrasies in terminals and diagonals, which become more noticeable at display sizes.
