A readable slab-serif with gently bracketed, rounded serifs and mostly even stroke weight. Curves are smooth and generous, with open counters and moderate proportions that keep letterforms clear at text sizes. Terminals tend to finish with small ball-like or teardrop cues (notably in forms like J, a, c, f, and y), giving the otherwise straightforward construction a softened edge. The uppercase is steady and formal, while the lowercase stays simple and workmanlike, with a two-storey a and a single-storey g; numerals are lining and similarly restrained.
Well suited to body copy in editorial layouts, books, reports, and other text-forward applications where a sturdy serif presence is helpful. It can also work for headings and packaging or labeling that benefits from a traditional, trustworthy slab-serif tone without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a calm, dependable voice. Its softened slab details add a mild, friendly warmth without pushing into decorative territory, making it feel traditional but approachable.
Likely designed as a practical slab-serif for everyday typesetting, balancing a solid serif structure with gentle, rounded finishing details to keep long passages comfortable and approachable.
The Q includes a distinctive inward curl on the tail, and several lowercase letters show subtly flared, rounded serifs that create a slightly calligraphic finish while maintaining a consistent, text-oriented rhythm. Spacing in the sample text reads even and stable, supporting continuous reading.
