A light slab-serif with crisp, mostly monoline strokes and sturdy, square-shouldered serifs. The forms are upright and clean, with open counters and a noticeably tall x-height that keeps lowercase text clear. Serifs read as firm and supportive rather than decorative, and joins are smooth with subtle bracketing that softens the overall geometry. Uppercase characters feel slightly wide and evenly paced, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with simple, readable shapes and straightforward terminals.
Well-suited for extended reading in books, articles, and reports where a steady rhythm and clear lowercase are priorities. It also works effectively for editorial headlines and subheads when a refined slab-serif presence is desired without heavy contrast or ornate detailing.
The font conveys a composed, bookish tone—confident and practical with a hint of traditional formality. Its restrained detailing and steady verticals feel editorial and academic, lending an even, unflashy voice suited to serious content.
Likely designed to provide a highly readable slab-serif for continuous text, balancing sturdy serif structure with a light stroke weight and open shapes. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, consistency, and an even page color across mixed-case settings.
Numerals appear straightforward and legible, matching the text weight and serif treatment for consistent color in running copy. The overall texture stays even in paragraph settings, with clear differentiation between similar forms (such as I/l and 0/O) supported by distinct serif cues and proportion changes.
