A light, text-oriented slab serif with clean, consistent strokes and clear bracketed serifs. The letterforms balance straight stems with softly rounded bowls, creating a steady rhythm and even color in paragraphs. Proportions are traditional and readable, with open apertures and generous interior space; joins and terminals stay restrained and crisp rather than decorative. Numerals follow the same understated construction, reading clearly at text sizes without calling attention to themselves.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and institutional or business documents where a serif voice is desired with a slightly sturdier, slab-inflected texture. It can also support restrained branding and packaging that aims for heritage and credibility, especially when paired with simple sans companions.
The overall tone feels traditional and composed, with a quietly academic, editorial presence. Its slab serifs add a subtle sense of sturdiness while the light stroke weight keeps the page feeling airy and refined. The impression is dependable and literate rather than expressive or playful.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, highly legible slab serif for continuous reading—keeping classic proportions and familiar details while using slab serifs to add structure and authority. It prioritizes clarity and consistency over display-specific eccentricities.
In running text the face maintains stable spacing and a measured cadence, lending itself to long-form reading. The serifs are noticeable but not heavy-handed, helping guide the eye across lines without creating strong stripe patterns.
