A delicate slab-serif with a light, even stroke and clearly bracketed square serifs. The letterforms lean toward traditional, book-oriented proportions with open counters and a measured rhythm, balancing crisp horizontals with smoothly rounded bowls. Curves are clean and restrained, and terminals remain consistent and tidy, giving the face a calm, articulate texture in both capitals and lowercase.
This style suits long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a classic slab presence is desired without heavy weight. It also works well for reports and formal documents that need a composed, traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting quiet authority rather than display punch. Its lightness and generous spacing create an airy, composed feel that reads as refined and editorial.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, readable slab-serif for text settings—prioritizing a steady rhythm, clear forms, and a restrained, traditional character that stays neutral and dependable on the page.
The lowercase shows a conventional, readable construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” and the numerals follow the same understated, bracketed-serif logic for a cohesive page color. The design’s light weight keeps it elegant, while the slab serifs add structure and a subtle sense of tradition.
