A crisp slab-serif design with firm, squared-off serifs and largely unbracketed joins. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thin hairlines in curves and heavier verticals, giving the letters a refined, slightly formal texture rather than a purely geometric feel. Capitals are proportioned with generous counters and clear internal space, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm with straightforward forms and compact, squared terminals. Figures are similarly structured and open, with clean curves and stable, upright stance that reads well in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, books, and academic or institutional materials where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also work for branding and headings that benefit from a confident slab-serif presence, especially when paired with clean, minimal supporting typography.
The overall tone feels classical and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that suggests reference typography and institutional communication. Its sharp slabs and controlled contrast convey authority and clarity, without becoming overly ornate.
Likely designed to provide a dependable slab-serif text face that combines sturdy, square serifs with a more refined contrast profile, balancing authority with readability for both paragraph setting and restrained display use.
In text, the font maintains an even line color and predictable spacing, with slab serifs providing strong horizontal cues that help guide the eye across lines. The mix of crisp terminals and contrast adds definition at display sizes while remaining composed for longer reading passages.
