A sturdy slab-serif with clearly bracketed serifs and a measured, bookish rhythm. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation without becoming delicate, keeping a firm, print-oriented presence. Capitals are wide and stable with strong horizontals (notably in E/F/T), while rounds like C/G/O maintain generous counters and smooth curves. The lowercase is compact and readable with a two-storey a and g, a straightforward ear on g, and a relatively short, crisp serif treatment that reinforces alignment and baseline stability. Numerals follow the same disciplined construction, with clear shapes and strong verticals suited to text settings.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and magazine layouts where a robust serif texture is desirable. It can also serve confidently in headlines, section titles, and institutional branding that benefits from a dependable, traditional slab-serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and institutional, evoking editorial pages, reference works, and formal communication. Its slab structure and moderate contrast give it an assertive, trustworthy voice that feels practical rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable slab-serif for editorial typography—balancing firm serifs and moderate contrast to deliver clarity, authority, and consistent color across lines of text.
The letterforms balance geometric steadiness with subtle curvature, creating a consistent texture in paragraphs. Spacing appears even and conservative, supporting continuous reading while still providing enough weight in the serifs to hold up in headings and pull quotes.
