A delicate slab-serif with slim, even stroke weight and softened, slightly rounded joins that keep the texture gentle rather than rigid. Serifs read as sturdy but not heavy, with subtle bracketing and rounded edges that give the forms a polished, print-oriented finish. Proportions are traditional and fairly compact, with a noticeably small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders creating an airy line. Curves are smooth and open (notably in bowls and counters), while diagonals and horizontals stay crisp, producing a clean, measured rhythm across text.
Well suited to editorial settings such as books, long-form articles, and magazine typography where a refined slab-serif texture is desired. It can also serve for titles, pull quotes, and cultured branding materials that benefit from a classic, gently softened serif voice.
The overall tone is literary and composed, with a quiet, editorial authority. Its softened slab details add a friendly warmth to an otherwise classical, formal voice, making the font feel intelligent, restrained, and timeless.
The design appears intended to merge traditional slab-serif structure with softened terminals for a smoother reading color and a more approachable feel. The compact lowercase and tall vertical proportions suggest an aim toward elegant, page-like typography rather than loud display impact.
In text, the small x-height and generous vertical reach create elegant leading-dependent readability, especially when given comfortable line spacing. The numerals appear classic and proportional, matching the letterforms’ restrained contrast and rounded serif treatment.
