A sturdy slab-serif with squared terminals and clearly bracketed serifs throughout. Strokes are largely monolinear, with modest modulation and an even, steady rhythm across text. The uppercase shows classical proportions with strong horizontals and stable verticals, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable structure with distinct bowls and open counters. Numerals are straightforward and workmanlike, matching the slab treatment and maintaining consistent color in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a stable slab-serif texture helps guide the eye. It can also serve for headings, captions, and pull quotes when a solid, traditional voice is desired without moving into decorative territory.
The overall tone is dependable and traditional, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as institutional and familiar. Its slab serifs add firmness and authority without feeling ornate, giving it an editorial and academic flavor suited to serious content.
The design appears intended as a practical, general-purpose slab serif: robust serifs for structure, controlled proportions for readability, and consistent stroke behavior for predictable performance in paragraph settings.
Spacing and sidebearings appear balanced, producing an even typographic color in the sample paragraphs. The forms favor clarity over personality, with clean joins and restrained detailing that keeps the face calm at text sizes while still holding up for short headlines.
