A clean slab-serif with even, lightly weighted strokes and pronounced, squared serifs. The letterforms show generous width and open counters, with smooth curves that transition into flat-ended terminals for a crisp, controlled rhythm. Uppercase forms feel measured and classical, while the lowercase maintains clarity through simple constructions and steady spacing. Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the text’s consistent, quietly structured texture.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a light slab-serif texture can add structure without feeling heavy. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and titling when a classic, authoritative voice is desired, especially in print-like compositions.
The overall tone is serious and composed, leaning toward scholarly and editorial settings rather than playful or expressive display work. Its slab details add a subtle sense of authority and tradition, while the light stroke treatment keeps the page color airy and polite.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary, readable slab-serif that preserves traditional serif cues while keeping strokes light and forms open. The emphasis appears to be on steady text rhythm, crisp terminals, and a confident, editorial presence.
In the text sample, the face produces an even, readable paragraph color with clear word shapes and stable alignment. The combination of broad proportions and firm serif endings gives it presence at larger sizes while remaining calm in continuous reading.
