This typeface is a light, upright slab-serif with clear, square-ended serifs and a restrained, book-oriented rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even with modest thick–thin modulation, and the serifs read as sturdy but not heavy, giving the letterforms a crisp, composed texture. Proportions are balanced with open counters and straightforward construction across capitals, lowercase, and figures, supporting clean word shapes and steady spacing in text.
It performs well for body copy in books, articles, and reports where a structured serif texture helps guide the eye. It can also serve for editorial headlines and subheads that need a classic voice with a touch of solidity from the slab serifs.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a quiet confidence that suits long-form reading and measured, editorial typography. Its crisp serifs and controlled contrast add a refined, slightly formal character without becoming ornate or overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a readable slab-serif for text-forward settings, pairing classic proportions with crisp, square serif finishing. It aims to deliver clarity and an orderly typographic color while offering enough distinctive slab character for editorial hierarchy.
In running text the face maintains a smooth, consistent color with clear differentiation between similar forms, and the numerals share the same light, composed presence as the letters. The slab details add structure and presence, helping headings feel anchored while keeping paragraphs airy and readable.
