A serif text face with gently bracketed, slab-like terminals and an even, steady stroke rhythm. The forms are compact and vertically oriented, with rounded bowls, moderate apertures, and a slightly calligraphic handling at joins and ends that softens the geometry. Capitals feel stately and restrained, while the lowercase stays tidy with modest ascenders and descenders and clear, traditional constructions. Numerals are straightforward and readable, matching the same calm, lightly flared serif treatment.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a calm serif texture and reliable readability are priorities. It can also serve for headings, pull quotes, and packaging copy when a classic, print-forward tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting printed pages, editorial work, and a measured, scholarly voice. Its restrained detailing reads as dependable and cultured rather than showy, with a subtle human touch that keeps it from feeling mechanical.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif reading experience with a contemporary steadiness: sturdy, slab-like finishing for clarity at text sizes, paired with softened, humanist shaping for an approachable page color.
Serifs remain consistent across the set, producing a cohesive texture in paragraphs and a clean baseline presence. The sample text shows an even color and comfortable spacing that supports continuous reading without calling attention to individual letterforms.
