A restrained serif with low contrast strokes and softly bracketed slab-like serifs that read as gently rounded rather than sharp. The proportions are compact and text-efficient, with steady vertical stems, modest curves, and open counters that keep letters clear at reading sizes. Details like the ball terminal on the lowercase “a,” the single-storey “g,” and the lightly curved “j” descender add a subtle human touch while maintaining an even, consistent rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
It suits long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a steady, comfortable text color is important. The compact width and clear shapes also make it a good option for interfaces, forms, and information-heavy settings, while the softened slab serifs can lend a friendly, credible tone to branding and packaging.
The overall tone is quietly traditional and bookish, but softened by rounded terminals and approachable letter shapes. It feels composed and practical, offering a calm, friendly texture rather than a stark or highly engineered voice.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif readability in a compact, contemporary-feeling package, using rounded slab-like serifs and low contrast to stay legible while avoiding harshness. It balances traditional cues with small, approachable details to work reliably across both text and display snippets.
Numerals are straightforward and readable, with a simple, clean “1” and open forms on “2” and “3.” Capitals stay dignified without excessive ornament, while the lowercase provides most of the warmth through small terminals and gentle curvature.
