A compact, sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and a clearly vertical axis. Stems are strong and dark, with moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes and crisp terminals that stay controlled rather than flamboyant. The uppercase is tall and tightly fit, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with relatively short extenders and round, solid counters. Overall spacing reads economical and slightly dense, producing a firm, print-oriented color in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a compact serif can deliver strong typographic color. It also fits reports, academic material, and print-led brand applications that benefit from a traditional, no-nonsense voice.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and bookish feel. Its compact proportions and weighty presence suggest seriousness and reliability rather than playfulness, making it read as classic and institutional.
The likely intent is a conventional text serif optimized for compact setting and a confident, dark typographic tone. It aims to balance readability with an authoritative presence, providing dependable letterforms for continuous text and headline use in the same visual system.
The design emphasizes clear silhouettes and stable horizontals, with serifs that help lock letters into lines. Numerals appear sturdy and tabular-feeling in presence, matching the alphabet’s firm texture and maintaining consistent weight and contrast across the set.
