A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed terminals and an even, low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms are upright and broadly proportioned, with wide, flat serifs that soften into the stems via gentle bracketing rather than sharp joins. Curves are round and full, counters are open, and spacing reads steady and predictable, creating a consistent typographic color across lines. Numerals match the text weight and tone, with simple, readable shapes and solid footing from the slab serifs where applicable.
Well suited to editorial design and long-form reading where a firm serif presence is desired, including books, magazines, and reports. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads that need a grounded, traditional voice, and can support branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, trustworthy texture.
The overall tone is dependable and traditional, leaning toward a bookish, institutional feel rather than decorative display. It conveys solidity and clarity—confident without feeling aggressive—and suggests the familiar voice of print publishing and formal communication.
The font appears designed as a practical slab-serif workhorse: clear, stable, and easy to set across a range of text sizes, with enough serif character to add authority while keeping forms straightforward and consistent.
The design balances strong serifs with relatively moderate stroke thickness, helping it hold up at smaller sizes while still looking substantial. Its straightforward construction and restrained details keep it from feeling quirky, emphasizing legibility and an orderly rhythm in paragraph settings.
