A refined slab serif with lightly bracketed, flared serifs and a modest, even stroke color. The letters show a classic, text-oriented construction: open apertures, rounded bowls, and gently tapered joins that keep forms crisp without feeling mechanical. Proportions lean slightly narrow with generous sidebearings in text, and the lowercase features traditional details such as a double-storey “g,” a two-storey “a,” and a long-tailed “Q.” Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and extenders, reinforcing a book-typography rhythm.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, essays, reports, and other long-form reading where a steady, comfortable texture is important. It can also serve for institutional branding, captions, and pull quotes when a classic slab-serif voice is desired without heaviness.
The overall tone is literate and understated, conveying an editorial, academic confidence rather than display drama. Its calm texture and traditional detailing suggest careful reading, credibility, and a quiet sense of craft.
The design appears intended as a dependable text slab serif that blends traditional serif proportions with sturdier terminals for clarity and durability in print-like settings. Its oldstyle numerals and conventional lowercase forms point to an emphasis on continuous reading and editorial credibility.
Serifs are sturdy enough to read clearly at text sizes while remaining visually light, and curves stay smooth with minimal contrast. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright with consistent, disciplined spacing and a balanced baseline rhythm.
