A sturdy slab-serif with generous, squared serifs and softly bracketed joins that keep the texture even and readable. Strokes are largely uniform with modest modulation, and the counters are open, producing a calm, steady rhythm in text. Proportions feel moderately wide with comfortable spacing; round letters are smooth and full, while stems and serifs stay crisp and rectangular. The lowercase shows traditional shapes with a two-storey “a,” a compact, straightforward “g,” and a firm, slightly hooked “f,” all reinforcing a utilitarian, print-oriented color.
Well-suited to body copy and longer-form reading where a solid serifed texture helps guide the eye. It also works comfortably in editorial layouts, textbooks, reports, and other content-forward designs that benefit from a stable, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is practical and familiar, leaning toward editorial and institutional voices rather than display eccentricity. Its slab serifs add authority and stability, giving text a dependable, workmanlike presence that feels confident without being loud.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab-serif for everyday typography—prioritizing clarity, consistent rhythm, and robust serifs that reproduce well in typical print and screen settings. It aims to provide a familiar editorial voice with enough structural strength for headings while remaining comfortable in continuous text.
Capitals read cleanly with consistent serif treatment across straight and curved forms, and the numerals appear sturdy and legible at text sizes. The design maintains a consistent baseline and serif footprint, helping paragraphs hold a uniform typographic gray.
