A sturdy slab serif with flat, rectangular serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The design shows moderate bracketing into the serifs and crisp, squared-off terminals that give the letters a firm, anchored feel. Proportions are traditional with open counters and clear differentiation between similar forms, supporting comfortable reading in continuous text. Lowercase forms are straightforward and workmanlike, with a two-storey “a” and “g”, compact joins, and consistent rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited for body copy in books, long-form editorial layouts, and print-forward reading experiences where a stable typographic color is needed. It can also serve effectively in reports, academic or institutional materials, and headlines or subheads that benefit from a firm, traditional slab-serif presence without excessive contrast.
The overall tone is practical and familiar, evoking established print typography and institutional clarity. Its solid slabs and even color create a dependable, no-nonsense voice that feels suited to serious, informational content while still retaining a classic editorial character.
The design appears intended as a readable, general-purpose slab serif that balances robustness with conventional letterfit and familiar forms. Its squared serifs and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on clarity, durability in print, and a confident, editorial voice rather than decorative flair.
In the sample text, the font maintains steady texture and alignment, with serifs providing strong horizontal cues that help guide the eye. Numerals appear lining with clear shapes and ample internal space, matching the letters’ grounded, utilitarian style.
