A sturdy slab serif with squared, clearly bracketed serifs and low stroke contrast. The design keeps an upright, steady axis and a measured rhythm, with generous, open counters and straightforward curves. Terminals are firm and horizontal, giving the letters a grounded, workmanlike color on the page. Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase shows classic slab cues such as a single-storey “g” and strong, rectangular feet and shoulders that maintain consistent texture in text.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a solid slab serif can carry long passages comfortably. It also fits reports, catalogs, and institutional materials that benefit from a steady, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is dependable and traditional, with an academic, editorial feel rather than a decorative one. Its slab serifs add authority and a hint of vintage printing without becoming overly stylized, making it feel serious and composed.
The design appears intended as a reliable, general-purpose slab serif for continuous reading, prioritizing clarity and even typographic color. Its detailing suggests a goal of traditional, print-friendly character with enough presence for headings while remaining composed in text sizes.
Numerals appear clear and evenly weighted, matching the letterforms with the same squared serif treatment; the “0” is notably oval and open. The type maintains a calm, readable texture in paragraph settings, with sturdy joins and restrained detailing that supports long-form reading.
