This typeface is a lightly built slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and mostly even stroke weight. Curves are smooth and round (notably in C, O, and the lowercase bowls), while verticals stay crisp and straight, creating a clean, measured rhythm. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented construction with a two-storey g and clear, open forms; punctuation and figures follow the same restrained, consistent geometry. Overall spacing feels comfortable and slightly airy, supporting clarity without looking mechanical.
It suits editorial and book typography where a gentle slab-serif presence can guide the eye through paragraphs. The light weight and even color also work well for captions, pull quotes, and refined UI or document typography where a classic but unobtrusive voice is desired.
The tone is quiet and literate, with a mild editorial formality that reads as composed rather than flashy. Its light touch and steady structure give it an understated, academic feel suited to content-forward typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional slab-serif cues with a lighter, more contemporary rendering, prioritizing readability and an even typographic color. It aims to provide a dependable text face with a subtle, structured character rather than overt display impact.
Round letters maintain a stable baseline presence, and the slab serifs add subtle emphasis at line ends without becoming heavy. Numerals appear straightforward and legible, matching the font’s calm, text-centric personality.
