A delicate slab serif with monolinear strokes and gently bracketed serifs that stay crisp at the terminals. The letterforms are upright and evenly built, with round counters, open apertures, and a steady, bookish rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth rather than geometric, and details like the ball terminals and simple, squared serifs keep the texture clean and consistent in text.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a serif voice is desired without heavy contrast. It can also support understated branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, literate feel.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a quiet authority that reads as literary and editorial. Its light presence feels airy and polite, lending a careful, considered voice rather than a loud or decorative one.
The design appears intended as a dependable text serif with slab-seriffed stability, prioritizing readability and even typographic color over expressive display features. Its light, tidy drawing suggests a focus on comfortable reading and a clean editorial finish.
Figures and capitals share the same restrained construction, producing a uniform color when set in blocks. The design favors clarity over personality, with restrained shapes and unobtrusive detailing that keeps attention on content.
