A sturdy slab serif with broad proportions and a steady, low‑contrast stroke structure. Serifs read as strong and mostly square-ended with subtle bracketing, giving the letters a solid, anchored feel without looking overly heavy. Uppercase forms are spacious with generous internal counters, while the lowercase shows a notably large x-height and clear, straightforward construction; the two-storey “a” and “g” and the open, wide bowls keep text color even. Numerals follow the same robust, utilitarian logic with clear shapes and stable vertical stress.
Well-suited to body text in books, magazines, and other editorial contexts where a stable, readable slab serif is needed. It also works effectively for academic or institutional materials, reports, and headings that benefit from a solid, traditional voice.
The overall tone is dependable and workmanlike, with a classic editorial flavor. Its firm slabs and open shapes communicate authority and clarity, leaning more toward practical typography than decorative expressiveness.
Likely designed as a practical, highly readable slab serif that balances sturdy structure with comfortable text rhythm. The wide proportions, open counters, and prominent slabs suggest an aim toward clarity and reliability across both display and continuous reading.
At text sizes the face maintains an even rhythm and consistent texture, helped by the wide set and open apertures. The strong slab terminals give headings a confident presence while still feeling appropriate for long-form reading.
