A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, squared-off serifs and a calm, even color on the page. Strokes show moderate contrast, with strong verticals and slightly lighter joins, and the serifs read as firm platforms rather than hairline details. Proportions are classic and bookish: rounded letters stay open and controlled, counters are generous, and spacing feels measured for continuous text. Terminals and crossbars are predominantly flat and crisp, giving the design a structured, typographic rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and reports where a firm serif structure helps maintain legibility and line discipline. It also works for headings and pull quotes when you want a confident, traditional voice without ornate detailing.
The font communicates a steady, institutional tone—serious, dependable, and quietly assertive. Its slab details add a hint of vintage utility while remaining clean enough for contemporary editorial use.
The design appears intended to provide a reliable, text-oriented slab serif that delivers a strong baseline and consistent rhythm for editorial typography, combining sturdy serifs with restrained contrast for clarity across sizes.
Uppercase forms feel formal and balanced, while the lowercase maintains readability with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably in the bowl-and-stem letters). Numerals appear straightforward and text-friendly, matching the serif weight and overall texture.
