A delicate slab serif with fine, consistent hairlines and subtly bracketed rectangular serifs. Strokes show gentle contrast and an overall smooth, controlled drawing, with open counters and restrained curvature in round letters. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned; lowercase forms are compact and readable with clear joins, a two-storey “g,” and straightforward terminals. Numerals match the text rhythm, with thin strokes and lightly flared, slab-like feet that keep the color even in running copy.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine text where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works for reports, academic or cultural publishing, and understated headlines or pull quotes when a refined, traditional tone is needed without heavy weight.
The tone is composed and literary, leaning toward a quiet, traditional editorial feel rather than display drama. Its light, refined detailing and measured spacing read as formal and credible, with a subtle warmth from the bracketed serifs.
The likely intention is to provide a dependable slab-serif text face with a lighter, more polished color—combining the stability of slab serifs with enough contrast and bracketed shaping to feel comfortable in continuous reading.
The design maintains a consistent baseline and serif treatment across cases, giving it a steady page texture. Round forms (O/Q/C/G) stay smooth and open, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain crisp without becoming sharp or aggressive, supporting a balanced, conservative voice.
