A lightly built serif with slab-like, bracketed terminals and subtly rounded corners throughout. Strokes stay even and clean with smooth joins, giving the forms a quiet, steady rhythm rather than sharp calligraphic contrast. Uppercase proportions feel stately with wide bowls and clear apertures, while the lowercase is open and readable, with a single-storey “g” and a simple “a” that keep the texture uncluttered. Figures are lining and similarly light, with simple, rounded turns and restrained detailing.
It suits editorial and book-like typography where a calm, classical serif texture is desired, especially for headings, pull quotes, and comfortable reading sizes. The softened slab terminals also make it a good choice for understated branding and packaging that aims for heritage cues with a friendlier finish.
The overall tone is composed and literary, pairing a traditional serif presence with softened edges that feel more welcoming than formal. It reads as thoughtful and dependable, suitable for text that wants a classic voice without stiffness.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with rounded, slab-influenced terminals to achieve clarity and warmth. It prioritizes even rhythm and legibility while keeping the silhouette distinctive through its soft, bracketed serifs.
Serifs are prominent enough to anchor lines but remain gentle due to the rounding and bracketing, which helps maintain a smooth page color. The sample text shows an even cadence and clear word shapes, with punctuation and dots rendered crisply at this light weight.
