A sturdy slab-serif with clear, rectangular serifs and a mostly vertical, upright structure. Strokes are fairly even with low contrast, and the serifs read as confident, blocky accents rather than delicate finishing. Curves are generous and open in letters like C, G, O, and e, while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a straightforward t with a flat crossbar, and a compact, readable rhythm suited to continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where clarity and a stable texture matter, including books, long-form articles, and print layouts. The strong slabs and open forms also hold up in headlines and identity work when a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, projecting an editorial, bookish seriousness. Its slab structure adds a grounded, dependable feel that can read as institutional or academic without becoming ornate.
This design appears intended to deliver dependable readability with a distinctly slab-serif personality—balancing robust, square-ended details with open, traditional proportions for versatile use across text and display settings.
Spacing appears comfortable and even, supporting a steady line color in paragraphs. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ slab logic and maintaining consistent presence alongside text.
