A readable slab serif with bracketed, softly rounded serifs and gently modulated strokes that keep an even, steady texture. Forms are open and fairly wide in the bowls, with smooth curves and restrained terminals that avoid sharp, high-contrast detailing. The lowercase shows familiar book proportions with clear ascenders/descenders, a two-storey “g,” and simple, sturdy joins, creating a consistent rhythm across text. Numerals and capitals share the same tempered, slightly rounded slab treatment, supporting a cohesive, durable page color.
It suits continuous reading in books, editorial layouts, and long-form documents where a stable, even color is important. It can also work for reports, instructional material, and interface text that benefits from sturdy serifs and clear letterforms, while remaining composed for headings when set with moderate tracking.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, dependable, and a bit old-style without feeling decorative. Its calm rhythm and softened slab details suggest practicality and familiarity, suited to straightforward reading rather than display theatrics.
The design appears intended as a pragmatic slab serif for general typography, balancing robust serif structure with softened contours to remain comfortable in paragraphs. It prioritizes consistency and legibility over stylization, aiming to function as a dependable all-purpose text face.
Spacing appears comfortable and text-like, with counters kept open in letters such as C, e, and a for clarity at typical reading sizes. The slabs are present but not aggressive, giving emphasis and structure while maintaining a smooth overall impression.
