A light, upright slab serif with crisp, slightly bracketed serifs and gently rounded joins. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, giving it a steady rhythm, while curves are smooth and open, especially in C, G, O, and Q. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, clear counters, and tidy terminals; the lowercase shows a single-storey g and a simple, readable a, and the numerals are open and lightly drawn with unobtrusive detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a light slab can add structure without darkening the page. It also works for refined branding, headlines, and pull quotes when a classic serif voice is desired with a slightly more architectural feel than a typical roman.
The overall tone is calm and classical, with a quiet elegance that feels literary rather than loud. Its delicate slab serifs add a touch of formality and tradition without becoming heavy or rustic.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, dependable slab serif for continuous text, prioritizing readability and consistent texture while maintaining a subtle, traditional character.
Spacing appears even and composed in text, with consistent baseline behavior and restrained punctuation. The letterforms favor clarity over ornament, with just enough serif presence to create a structured, editorial texture.
