A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and a clear, even rhythm. Strokes remain relatively uniform through curves and joins, with rounded counters and moderately open apertures. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, and spacing is orderly, supporting consistent word shapes in text. The numerals and capitals share the same solid, squared serif treatment, giving the design a cohesive, print-forward texture.
Well suited to body copy in editorial layouts, textbooks, and long-form documents where a stable, readable texture is desired. It can also serve for headlines and subheads when a firm, traditional slab presence is needed without overt stylization.
The tone is practical and dependable, with a classic, bookish character. Its slab serifs add authority and structure without becoming decorative, creating a straightforward voice suited to informational and editorial settings.
Designed to be a reliable slab-serif for everyday typography, emphasizing clarity, consistency, and a solid page color. The shapes prioritize straightforward construction and repeatable details to perform predictably across paragraphs and display lines.
In the text sample, the type builds an even gray and maintains legibility at reading sizes, with serifs that help anchor lines and reinforce a measured baseline. The overall impression is calm and workmanlike, leaning toward traditional print typography rather than contemporary minimalism.
