A light, upright slab serif with crisp, bracketed rectangular serifs and a clean, even rhythm. Strokes remain largely uniform with subtle shaping at joins, keeping the texture smooth and legible rather than dramatic. Proportions feel balanced and fairly traditional, with clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase and open counters that help the face stay readable at text sizes. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with simple forms and consistent serif treatment that matches the letters.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a light slab serif can add structure without darkening the page. It also fits reports, brochures, and restrained brand applications that need a classic, typographic voice with clear legibility in paragraphs and headings.
The overall tone is composed and editorial, evoking classic print typography without feeling heavy or ornate. Its light touch and tidy detailing give it a polished, understated presence suited to thoughtful, text-forward design.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, high-readability slab serif that delivers a traditional print feel with minimal stylistic interruption. Its restrained contrast, consistent serifing, and calm proportions prioritize dependable setting for text and editorial typography.
In continuous text the letterspacing reads slightly airy, contributing to a bright page color. The design avoids quirky signatures and instead emphasizes consistent serif logic and steady verticals, producing a dependable, quietly elegant texture.
