A light slab-serif with restrained, bracketed serifs and gently rounded joins that keep the forms smooth rather than mechanical. Strokes stay even with minimal contrast, while round letters (C, O, Q) read broad and open, and verticals remain straight and steady. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with a two-storey a, a single-storey g, and a slightly curved, descending y; overall spacing feels generous, helping the rhythm stay airy in text. Numerals are simple and lining, with clear shapes and soft terminals that match the serif treatment.
Works well for long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a light slab serif can add structure without heavy emphasis. It also suits reports, branding systems, and UI typography when a calm, traditional voice is desired at moderate sizes.
The tone is quiet and dependable, leaning toward traditional publishing rather than display. Its light weight and soft slab details suggest an editorial, cultured feel that stays approachable and neutral.
Likely intended as a plainspoken slab-serif workhorse: legible, consistent, and versatile, with just enough serif presence to guide the eye through text while maintaining a light, open color on the page.
The serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the design a unified texture in paragraphs. Curved letters retain a smooth, slightly humanist feel, avoiding sharp corners or rigid geometry.
