A lightly weighted serif with soft, slab-like serifs and rounded terminals that keep the texture gentle rather than sharp. Strokes maintain low contrast with smooth curves, and joins are clean and consistent, giving the alphabet an even, steady rhythm in both text and display sizes. Proportions are balanced with moderately wide bowls and open counters; the lowercase shows simple, readable forms with a two-storey “a” and “g,” while the figures are clear and traditional in stance.
Well suited to editorial typography—book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—where its even texture supports comfortable reading. The softened slab serifs also make it a good option for branding, packaging, and signage that needs a classic serif voice without feeling severe.
The overall tone is approachable and quietly classic, blending a literary, editorial feel with a slightly nostalgic warmth. Its rounded details soften the formality of a serif, making it feel friendly and conversational while still maintaining typographic discipline.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, traditional serif foundation while tempering it with rounded slab details for warmth and accessibility. It aims for dependable text performance with enough character to stand out in headlines and identity work.
In the sample text, spacing and color appear stable, producing a smooth gray value across lines without looking brittle. Rounded slab serifs and gently cupped terminals help the face stay legible and calm at smaller sizes while remaining distinctive in headings.
