A restrained slab-serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and a clean, even rhythm. Strokes read as finely drawn and consistent, with rounded joins that soften corners without turning calligraphic. Counters are open and generously shaped, while terminals and serifs stay crisp, giving the face a tidy, printed-page feel. The lowercase shows a straightforward structure with a two-storey “g” and a single-storey “a,” plus clear, compact punctuation and figures that match the text color.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a quiet slab-serif texture helps guide the eye. It also fits reports and general-purpose typography that benefits from a traditional, structured voice without heavy emphasis.
The tone is composed and traditional, leaning toward literary and editorial uses rather than display. Its calm, measured texture suggests credibility and clarity, with just enough serif presence to feel established without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, print-oriented slab-serif for continuous text, prioritizing steady rhythm, legibility, and a familiar serif vocabulary over distinctive quirks or dramatic contrast.
Capitals appear stately and evenly proportioned, with a classic “Q” tail that dips into the bowl and a balanced, readable “R” leg. The numerals are lightly built and align well with the text, maintaining a consistent typographic color across mixed-case setting.
