A light, monoline slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a slightly calligraphic, humanist rhythm. Strokes stay even in weight with gently rounded joins and modest curvature in bowls, while horizontals and serifs remain crisp and flat. Proportions feel traditionally book-like: capitals are broad and steady, lowercase forms are open and readable, and spacing is moderately generous for an airy page color. Numerals are clean and straightforward, matching the same slabbed construction and restrained detailing.
Best suited to editorial settings where a light slab serif can add character while staying readable—book interiors, longform articles, pull quotes, and cultural or academic materials. It can also work well in refined packaging and brand collateral that wants a subtle typewriter-leaning heritage without heavy ink weight.
The overall tone is bookish and quietly vintage, reminiscent of typewriter and early print textures without becoming distressed or decorative. It reads as calm and studious, with a friendly, hand-influenced softness beneath the precise slab structure.
The design appears intended to blend the sturdiness and clarity of slab serifs with a lighter, more literary voice. Its consistent stroke weight and unbracketed serifs suggest an emphasis on crisp reproduction, while the gentle curvature and open counters aim to keep text comfortable and approachable.
Round letters like C, O, and G show smooth, controlled curves that contrast with the squared-off serif treatment, creating a pleasing balance of softness and structure. The lowercase includes a two-storey g and generally conventional forms, reinforcing a text-oriented, editorial feel.
