A sturdy slab serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and an even, low-contrast stroke. Curves are generously rounded but controlled, with clear, open counters and a steady baseline rhythm. The uppercase feels formal and stable, while the lowercase stays compact and readable, with single-storey forms where expected (notably the g) and straightforward terminals. Numerals are clear and workmanlike, matching the text color and serif treatment of the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a solid slab serif can provide strong structure and comfortable word shapes. It also fits reports, academic material, and straightforward branding that needs a dependable, traditional voice without appearing ornate.
The overall tone is pragmatic and traditional, evoking editorial and academic typography rather than display novelty. It reads as confident and grounded, with a slightly old-style, bookish warmth that still stays crisp and businesslike.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose slab serif for text and headlines, prioritizing clarity, consistent texture, and a confident, traditional presence. It balances robust serifs with restrained detailing to stay readable and versatile across paragraphs and mixed typographic hierarchy.
Serifs are prominent enough to create a firm horizontal emphasis, helping line structure in paragraphs. The design keeps details restrained—no exaggerated swashes or sharp calligraphic modulation—so the texture remains consistent across mixed-case settings and dense text.
