A sturdy slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and largely uniform stroke modulation. The forms lean on strong horizontals and verticals, with crisp joins and flat terminals that give the letters a rectilinear, constructed feel. Counters are open and readable, while curves (notably in C, O, and e) stay controlled and geometric rather than calligraphic. Proportions feel balanced and text-ready, with a consistent rhythm and clear, compact detailing in the serifs.
Well-suited to body text and long-form reading where a firm serif structure helps maintain legibility and steady texture. It also performs nicely in headlines and branding that want a traditional, authoritative voice with a more modern, squared-off edge.
The font conveys an editorial, slightly old-school seriousness—confident and dependable rather than playful. Its blocky slabs add authority and a faintly collegiate or print-tradition tone, making it feel familiar and trustworthy in longer reading contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, print-oriented slab serif voice with clean, square serifs and restrained detailing, prioritizing clarity and typographic consistency across text and display sizes.
Lowercase shapes maintain clarity at text sizes, with sturdy stems and a distinct, no-nonsense serif treatment. Numerals match the same square-ended logic and sit comfortably with the capitals, supporting a cohesive typographic color in mixed content.
