Proportions read a bit generous in width, with open counters and clear interior spaces that keep paragraphs from clogging. Terminals are firm and straight, and the overall rhythm is steady rather than lively or calligraphic.

The tone feels traditional and editorial, projecting reliability and a slightly scholarly attitude. Its blunt slabs add a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice, while the open shapes keep it approachable for longer reads. Overall it lands in a classic, print-oriented mood rather than a decorative or trendy one.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical, highly readable slab serif for continuous text, emphasizing even color, durable shapes, and clear spacing. Its square terminals and robust serifs suggest a focus on confident, print-friendly typography that remains composed in dense paragraphs.
