A slender slab serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness, with subtle swelling at joins and terminals that keeps the texture soft rather than mechanical. Capitals are airy and elegantly proportioned with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains open apertures and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly in text. Numerals are similarly light and classical, with rounded forms and understated slab finishing.
Works well for book and magazine typography, introductions, pull quotes, and other editorial layouts where a light serif texture is needed. It can also serve brand and packaging applications that want a refined, traditional impression without strong contrast or aggressive slabs.
The overall tone is literary and composed, leaning classic without feeling heavy. It suggests careful, editorial typography—quietly formal, polite, and slightly old-style in spirit—suited to settings where a delicate serif voice is desired.
The design appears intended as a dependable, plainspoken slab serif with a lighter touch—combining the stability of slabs with softened brackets and open letterforms for comfortable text setting and tasteful display use.
Serifs appear consistently bracketed across the set, helping long lines keep an even color at smaller sizes. The design avoids sharp extremes, favoring rounded joins and restrained detailing that supports a smooth reading flow.
