A serifed design with sturdy, squared slab serifs that are subtly rounded at the corners, giving the texture a softened, tactile look. Strokes are even and steady, with moderate bracketing and smoothly transitioning joins that keep the rhythm consistent in text. Proportions are classical and readable, with open counters and a balanced mix of straight stems and rounded bowls that produces an orderly, bookish color on the page.
Well suited for editorial typography such as books, essays, long-form articles, and academic or institutional materials where an even, readable texture is important. It can also work effectively in branding and packaging that wants a traditional, trustworthy voice with a softer edge, and in UI or documentation contexts where clarity and consistent rhythm are priorities.
This typeface feels calm and pragmatic, with a slightly old‑style, literary tone. Its softened slab details add a gentle friendliness, keeping it approachable rather than stern. Overall it conveys reliability and quiet confidence.
