A restrained slab serif with modest, bracketed serifs and largely even stroke weight. Letterforms follow traditional proportions with smooth curves and clear, open counters, producing a steady horizontal rhythm in text. Terminals are clean and squared-off, while joins and curves are softly rounded, keeping the shapes crisp without feeling rigid. Numerals and capitals sit with a composed, print-oriented stance, and overall spacing reads balanced and conventional.
Well-suited to body copy in print or long-form reading, including books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady texture is desired. It also fits reports, institutional materials, and brand systems that want a traditional slab-serif voice without overt stylization.
The tone is calm and established, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its unshowy slab detailing suggests reliability and clarity rather than display-driven personality, giving it a quietly authoritative presence.
The design appears intended as a practical, general-purpose slab serif: traditional letter skeletons, controlled detailing, and dependable spacing aimed at maintaining a smooth reading texture across paragraphs while still offering the subtle firmness associated with slab serifs.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. The design leans on familiar book-type structures, with a straightforward two-story lowercase build and conservative detailing that prioritizes consistency across the set.
