A delicate slab-serif with thin, mostly even strokes and lightly bracketed rectangular serifs that stay crisp at joins. The design leans on classical proportions: rounded forms are smooth and open, verticals are steady, and terminals end in small slab blocks rather than calligraphic flares. Uppercase shapes feel reserved and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains a modest x-height and clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals are similarly light and tidy, with simple curves and restrained details that keep the rhythm even in text.
It suits editorial settings where a light slab-serif can add structure without darkening the page—magazine typography, book interiors at comfortable sizes, and refined headings. The restrained, neat detailing also works for understated branding and packaging that wants a classic serif tone with a slightly more architectural finish.
The overalls overall tone is understated and refined, suggesting a literary, editorial sensibility rather than loud display. Its lightness and clean slab finishing give it a calm, quietly formal voice that reads as traditional without feeling heavy.
The design appears intended as a plain, dependable slab-serif with a lighter, more elegant color—aiming for readability and composure while preserving the distinctive, squared serif signature. Its consistent, measured construction suggests it was built to perform in continuous text as well as modest display sizes.
The texture in paragraphs appears airy, with generous interior space and a measured cadence from the small slab serifs. Curves (such as in C, O, and e) remain round and unforced, while diagonals (V, W, X) stay sharp and controlled, helping maintain clarity at larger sizes.
