A sturdy slab serif with clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs and a steady, workmanlike rhythm. Strokes read as mostly even with only mild modulation, giving the design a solid, low-fuss texture in paragraphs. Counters are open and fairly generous, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep the face from feeling brittle. Capitals are broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable construction with a two-storey “g” and compact, squared terminals that reinforce the slab character.
Well-suited to editorial layouts and book typography where a sturdy serif voice and consistent texture are desirable. It also works effectively for headlines and pull quotes, where the slab serifs provide strong anchoring and a confident, traditional presence. The clear figures and steady letterforms make it a practical choice for mixed text that includes numerals.
The tone is classic and institutional, with an editorial confidence that feels familiar and dependable. Its robust slabs and calm proportions suggest authority without becoming ornate, evoking textbook, newspaper, and signage traditions.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable slab-serif reading experience—prioritizing clarity, stability, and a familiar print-forward character. Its restrained detailing and consistent construction suggest a focus on versatile, everyday typography that can move between text and display roles without changing personality.
The numerals are clear and conventional, matching the overall sturdiness and making the set feel cohesive in mixed text. The overall color is moderately dark and even, supporting long-form reading while still carrying enough typographic presence for headings.
