A lightly weighted slab serif with crisp, mostly square-ended serifs and a steady, low-contrast stroke rhythm. Proportions are compact with a relatively small x-height, giving the lowercase a more vertical, book-text posture. Curves are clean and open, while joins and terminals show subtle softening and occasional wedge-like shaping that keeps the texture from feeling mechanical. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent serif treatment and a tidy, even color across lines.
Well suited to editorial typography, book or long-form reading at comfortable sizes, and literary or academic headings where a compact, traditional texture is desirable. It can also work in refined packaging or branding that benefits from a classic slab-serif voice without heavy stroke weight.
The tone is quietly traditional and literary, suggesting printed matter and careful typesetting rather than display theatrics. Its controlled structure and modest detailing convey a calm, scholarly mood with a slight old-style warmth.
The design appears aimed at a readable, print-oriented slab serif that balances sturdy, square serif cues with a restrained, slightly calligraphic touch. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and a composed page color for text and title settings.
Several glyphs show distinctive serif handling and gently tapered stroke endings that add personality without breaking overall consistency. The uppercase has a stately presence, while the lowercase remains narrow and reserved, producing a compact paragraph texture.
