This typeface is a sturdy slab serif with compact, squared-off serif forms and gently bracketed joins that keep the rhythm smooth rather than mechanical. Strokes are largely even in weight with minimal contrast, producing a solid, print-friendly texture. The letterforms show a classical, slightly transitional skeleton—rounded bowls and clear apertures—paired with blocky serifs that add presence without feeling heavy. Lowercase proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, short-to-moderate ascenders and descenders, and straightforward, readable shapes across the alphabet and numerals.
Well suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a firm, legible serif texture is desirable. It can also support reports, academic material, and brand systems that want a traditional foundation with a slightly modern, slab-seriffed backbone.
The overall tone is dependable and bookish, with an editorial confidence that feels at home in long-form reading. Its slab serifs add a subtle sense of authority and structure, while the rounded interior curves keep the voice warm and accessible rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to merge the dependable readability of a traditional text serif with the added stability and emphasis of slab serifs, yielding a versatile face that performs confidently in paragraphs while still holding its own in headings.
Spacing and fit appear measured for continuous text, creating an even gray value in the sample paragraph. Numerals are clear and sturdy, and the capitals carry a calm, classical presence rather than a display-oriented flair.
