A sturdy slab serif with pronounced, mostly bracketed serifs and a confident, even stroke texture. The letterforms show moderate proportions and a steady rhythm, with open counters and clear, conventional construction that reads cleanly in continuous text. Terminals are blunt and rectangular, joins are solid, and curves are smoothly drawn without decorative flourishes. Figures appear straightforward and workmanlike, matching the restrained tone of the alphabet.
It suits long-form reading in books, articles, and reports where a sturdy serif can hold up across dense paragraphs. The strong serifs also make it a good choice for headings, pull quotes, and informational layouts that benefit from a grounded, structured presence.
The overall tone is practical and dependable, with a familiar, print-oriented seriousness. Its bold-ish slab details lend an authoritative, slightly old-school voice that feels comfortable in editorial and institutional settings rather than expressive or playful.
The design appears intended as a reliable slab serif for general-purpose text and editorial typography, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a confident printed voice over novelty.
In the sample text, the font maintains consistent color and spacing, producing a stable, readable paragraph texture. The slab serifs give strong horizontal cues, which helps lines feel anchored and structured at larger reading sizes.
