A light, square-serif text face with crisp slab-like serifs and mostly even stroke weight. The letterforms are upright and calmly proportioned, with generous interior counters and open apertures that keep the color of text bright and breathable. Serifs appear firm and straight, with subtle bracketing on some joins, and terminals stay clean and squared-off rather than calligraphic. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable structure with a compact, unsentimental rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where an airy, refined serif texture is desirable. It can also support titles, captions, and pull quotes in editorial systems that want a traditional, disciplined tone without heavy contrast or decorative flourish.
The overall tone is quiet and authoritative, leaning toward editorial and literary contexts rather than expressive display. It suggests a measured, academic voice—polished but not flashy—with a slightly archival, bookish character.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean slab-serif reading experience: sturdy serif structure, low-contrast strokes, and an even typographic rhythm aimed at dependable legibility and a cultivated, printed-page feel.
In running text, the light weight and open spacing create an elegant, high-clarity texture that stays composed at larger text sizes. Numerals are simple and legible, matching the same restrained, square-ended detailing seen across the alphabet.
