A crisp slab-serif with long, bracketed serifs and largely even stroke weight. The letterforms feel traditional and measured, with moderate proportions and open counters that keep the texture readable in paragraphs. Curves are smooth and restrained, while joins and terminals stay clean and square-leaning, creating a steady horizontal rhythm. The numerals and capitals align with the same formal construction, producing a consistent, text-oriented color.
It suits book typography, editorial layouts, and other longform reading contexts where a stable, traditional slab-serif voice is desired. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when you want a classic, composed emphasis that remains compatible with dense text.
The font conveys a composed, bookish tone—formal without feeling heavy. Its steady rhythm and restrained detailing suggest editorial seriousness, academic credibility, and a quietly traditional voice.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional slab-serif reading experience: sturdy, systematic construction with clear serifs for line guidance, paired with restrained shaping for an even, dependable page color.
The lowercase shows conventional, readable shapes with clear differentiation between similar forms, and the overall spacing appears balanced for continuous reading. The serifs are prominent enough to guide the eye across lines, while the modest stroke contrast keeps the texture even.
