A classic serif with sturdy, slab-like, bracketed serifs and softly rounded terminals. Strokes are largely even in weight, with gentle modulation and smooth curves that keep the texture calm and consistent in paragraphs. Counters are open and readable, and the proportions feel traditional rather than condensed or extended, producing an even, book-like rhythm. Details such as the ball terminal on the lowercase “j” and the distinctive tail on “Q” add personality without disrupting overall consistency.
It performs well for continuous reading in print and digital editorial layouts, including books, essays, reports, and educational materials. The strong serifs and even stroke color also make it suitable for headings, pull quotes, and navigation text where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a familiar, literary tone—measured, dependable, and quietly warm. Its friendly rounding and robust serifs suggest tradition and clarity rather than sharp modernity, making it feel well-suited to longform reading and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional, slab-influenced text serif: sturdy and highly legible, with softened details to keep the page color approachable and smooth at reading sizes.
Capitals are clean and stable with broad serifs that anchor lines, while lowercase shapes maintain a smooth flow and clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals match the text color well and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside letters in running text.
