A refined serif with slab-leaning, softly bracketed serifs and gently rounded terminals that keep the texture smooth. Strokes show noticeable contrast rather than a strictly even monoline feel, with thin hairlines and sturdier verticals that read cleanly in text. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with open counters and moderate letterspacing that produces an even rhythm. Details like the two-storey “a,” the curved tail on “Q,” and the slightly calligraphic shaping on “y” and “g” add character without becoming decorative.
Well suited for editorial layouts and longer reading settings where a steady, classic serif texture is needed. It can also support institutional or boutique branding, packaging, and headings where a restrained, slightly warm voice is preferred over sharp, high-fashion contrast.
The overall tone is calm and literary, with a lightly old-style, book-page sensibility. Rounded joins and softened slab serifs give it a friendly warmth, while the contrast and steady proportions keep it formal and composed.
The design appears intended to blend classic text-face legibility with the sturdier presence of slab-influenced serifs, softened through rounded terminals. It aims for a dependable reading rhythm while retaining enough distinctive details to feel curated in display sizes.
Figures are clear and conventional, with lining-style proportions that sit comfortably alongside capitals. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample text maintain the same softened, bracketed treatment, helping long passages feel consistent and readable.
