A sturdy serif with pronounced slab-like feet and predominantly flat, square-ended terminals. Strokes are relatively even with modest modulation, and the letterforms keep classic proportions with clear, open counters. The uppercase has a measured, formal rhythm, while the lowercase is compact and readable, with a two-storey “a” and “g” and robust verticals that hold up well in text. Numerals follow the same solid construction, with generous curves and consistent serif treatment.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a solid, confident serif is needed for both text and display. It works effectively in book interiors, magazines, and reports, and it can also support branding and packaging that calls for a classic yet sturdy typographic voice.
The overall tone is dependable and editorial, balancing traditional bookish manners with a more workmanlike, grounded presence. Its squared-off finishing details add a subtle utilitarian flavor that feels authoritative rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable, highly legible serif with strong, squared finishing details—aiming for a classic reading experience while adding a firm, contemporary slab-like backbone.
Spacing and sidebearings appear comfortable for continuous reading, producing an even texture in paragraph settings. The slab-like serifs provide strong horizontal anchoring, helping maintain clarity at larger sizes and in headline use without looking overly stylized.
