A compact slab-serif with sturdy, mostly even stroke weight and softly bracketed serifs that give the forms a slightly inked, old-style feel. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/Q), while joins and terminals show subtle swelling and tapered touches rather than hard geometric cuts. Uppercase proportions are restrained and tidy, and the lowercase has a modest x-height with relatively tall ascenders, creating an airy, classic text rhythm. Numerals are clear and traditional, with the 2 and 3 showing pronounced curves and the 7 carrying a gentle, angled form.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and clear shapes hold up in continuous text. The sturdy serifs and compact fit also work well for headings, captions, and print materials such as academic documents, labels, and heritage-leaning packaging.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, evoking printed literature, editorial typography, and familiar institutional voice. Its sturdy slabs add a practical, workmanlike confidence, while the softened details keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif texture for text, combining practical sturdiness with subtle, humanized detailing for comfortable reading and a classic, print-forward voice.
Spacing reads on the tight-to-moderate side, contributing to a dense, economical texture in paragraphs. Several letters show mild, humanist irregularities—especially in the curves and terminals—which adds warmth and reduces the rigidity typically associated with slabs.
