A compact text face with crisp, tapered stroke endings and small bracket-like terminals that give many stems a subtly flared finish. Curves are smooth and moderately contrasted against straighter verticals, producing a steady, readable rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed, while lowercase forms are compact with firm vertical stress, tight apertures, and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals follow the same controlled, slightly calligraphic construction, with angled strokes and tidy curves that stay consistent in color across a line of text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and long-form reading where a compact footprint and steady rhythm are valuable. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice. The consistent text color and clear shapes make it dependable for print-style layouts and content-heavy pages.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a reserved, editorial feel rather than a loud display personality. Its tapered terminals and restrained contrast add a faint old-style seriousness, suggesting credibility and formality without becoming ornate. In paragraphs it reads as calm, composed, and slightly historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, readable text texture with a traditional flavor, combining crisp construction with subtly tapered terminals to avoid monotony. It aims for editorial seriousness and clarity in continuous text while retaining enough character for titles and short display settings.
Distinctive details include the angled tail on the uppercase Q, pointed or wedge-like feet on several capitals, and a single-storey lowercase g with a prominent ear. The lowercase j and i use small, square-like dots, reinforcing the crisp, constructed character. Spacing appears geared toward continuous reading, maintaining a consistent texture even in mixed-case sample text.
