This serif shows a crisp, neatly drawn structure with moderate contrast and small, squared slab-like serifs that read as lightly bracketed rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and open, with round bowls and clean joins, while horizontals feel steady and evenly paced across the set. Uppercase proportions are balanced and slightly stately, and the lowercase maintains clear, readable forms with a single-storey “g” and a tidy, compact rhythm in text. Numerals are straightforward and lining in feel, matching the font’s restrained, editorial texture.
Well-suited to continuous reading in editorial and publishing contexts, including books, magazines, and reports. It can also serve for headlines and pull quotes where a classic serif voice is desired without excessive ornamentation.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a subtle contemporary cleanliness. It feels bookish and trustworthy rather than decorative, projecting clarity and quiet sophistication.
The design appears intended to provide a pragmatic, readable serif with slab-tinged terminals that add crispness and stability, aiming for a versatile text face that feels familiar while staying clean and current.
The sample text forms an even gray value with comfortable spacing, and the serifs add definition without becoming heavy or ornate. Round letters like O/C/G stay generously open, supporting readability in longer passages.
