A text-oriented slab serif with softly bracketed, sturdy serifs and gently rounded stroke endings. Strokes are mostly even with modest modulation, giving a calm color on the page while still showing subtle calligraphic influence in joins and terminals. Proportions are classic and slightly condensed in places, with compact lowercase and a restrained, traditional rhythm; curves are smooth and open, and counters stay generous for readability. The numeral set follows the same oldstyle sensibility, mixing straight stems with rounded bowls and small, wedge-like finishing details.
Well suited to body text, pull quotes, and headlines in editorial and publishing contexts where a dependable slab serif is desired without an overly geometric or industrial feel. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for heritage, craft, or literary associations while remaining highly legible in paragraphs.
The overall tone feels literary and familiar—more bookish than industrial—combining the reliability of slab serifs with a mild, human touch. It reads as traditional and approachable, with a quiet warmth suited to long-form reading and editorial settings.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional reading comfort with the firmness of slab serifs, offering a steady page color and recognizable letterforms while adding subtle warmth through rounded brackets and gently shaped terminals.
Capitals present a steady, formal presence with clearly articulated serifs, while the lowercase introduces more personality through slightly varied curves and distinctive terminals. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, supporting an even texture without feeling rigid or mechanical.
