A sturdy slab serif with block-like, square-ended serifs and low stroke contrast. The design favors broad proportions and open counters, with steady verticals and simple, unembellished curves that keep the texture even in continuous text. Serifs are pronounced and largely unbracketed, giving terminals a crisp, engineered feel, while joins stay clean and minimally tapered. Uppercase forms read solid and stately; lowercase maintains a clear, workmanlike rhythm with straightforward bowls and stems.
Well-suited for editorial body text where a firm serif texture is desirable, as well as chapter heads and display lines that benefit from a solid, traditional presence. It also fits educational and institutional materials—reports, textbooks, and signage-like headings—where clarity and authority are priorities.
The overall tone feels editorial and academic, projecting reliability and authority without becoming ornate. Its firm slabs and broad stance create a confident, traditional voice that fits formal communication and structured layouts.
Likely designed to provide a robust slab-serif voice that remains readable in paragraphs while retaining enough heft and structure to stand up in larger sizes. The emphasis appears to be on a dependable, classic text companion with strong terminals and a steady typographic rhythm.
In the text sample the face holds a consistent, even color with clear word shapes, and the numerals match the same sturdy, squared-off logic. The geometry and terminals lean toward clarity and stability rather than delicacy, making the style feel grounded and deliberate.
