A sturdy slab-serif with softly bracketed serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are upright and moderately proportioned, with a calm rhythm and clear horizontal stress. Terminals tend to finish in flat, squared slabs, while joins show gentle rounding that keeps the texture from feeling overly rigid. Lowercase forms read compact and tidy, with a single-storey g, a straightforward two-storey-like construction avoided in favor of simpler bowls, and an overall emphasis on legible counters and stable stems.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as long-form reading, magazines, and report layouts where a firm serifed presence improves structure and hierarchy. It can also serve as a dependable choice for headings and subheads when a sturdy, traditional tone is desired without high contrast or delicate details.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, leaning toward an editorial and academic voice rather than playful display. Its slabs and steady color give it an authoritative, print-minded character that feels established and conventional without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, readable slab-serif for continuous text, combining firm square-ended serifs with gentle bracketing to keep paragraphs smooth and comfortable. Its emphasis seems to be on clarity, stability, and a familiar print-oriented voice.
In text, the font maintains an even typographic color and consistent spacing, producing a solid paragraph texture. Numerals are clear and uncomplicated, matching the serifed construction and reinforcing a traditional reading experience.
