A slender slab-serif design with lightly bracketed, squared terminals and a calm, even texture. Strokes stay mostly uniform with only subtle modulation, while proportions are generous and open, giving letters ample internal space and clear counters. The serifs read as sturdy horizontal/vertical blocks rather than sharp wedges, and the overall rhythm feels measured and consistent in both capitals and lowercase.
It works well for editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a light slab can add structure without heavy weight. It also suits headings and pull quotes that want a classic, composed serif feel with a slightly more architectural finish than a typical oldstyle serif.
The font conveys an editorial, bookish tone—restrained and traditional without feeling ornate. Its light color and open shapes create an airy, composed impression suited to calm, information-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a practical, readable slab serif that balances firmness in the serifs with a light overall color. Its consistent construction and open proportions suggest a focus on clarity and calm typographic texture for general-purpose publishing.
The sample text shows a clean baseline and steady spacing that keeps paragraphs readable, with punctuation and numerals matching the same understated, slab-serif voice. Round letters like O/C remain smooth and open, while straighter forms (E/F/H) keep a crisp, architectural presence through their square terminals.
