This typeface is a monoline slab serif with rounded, softened terminals and compact, blocky serifs that read clearly at text sizes. Strokes keep an even thickness with gentle curve-to-stem transitions, producing a calm, steady texture. Proportions are fairly traditional with open apertures and readable, uncomplicated forms; bowls are round and the joins are kept clean rather than sharply bracketed. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with a two-storey “g” and simple, sturdy stems, while numerals are lining and evenly weighted to match the letters.
It fits well in editorial and book typography where comfortable readability and a steady text color are priorities. The rounded slab character also makes it effective for packaging and branding that want a trustworthy, personable tone, and for headings that need presence without looking aggressive.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a subtly academic, bookish feel. Rounded slab details soften the otherwise traditional structure, giving it a friendly, dependable voice that feels suited to long-form reading as well as clear, polite display.
The design appears intended to blend the stability of a classic slab serif with softened details for a more welcoming, contemporary reading experience. Its even stroke weight and rounded terminals suggest a focus on clarity, consistency, and a friendly texture across both text and supporting numerals.
The letterforms maintain consistent rhythm and spacing, and the rounded slab serifs help prevent the texture from feeling overly sharp or formal. Curves are smooth and slightly generous, which supports clarity in mixed-case settings and continuous text.
