A crisp slab-serif with sturdy, squared serifs and mostly even stroke weight. The letterforms show a measured, book-oriented rhythm: open counters, clear joins, and a restrained modulation that keeps the texture steady. Curves are clean and slightly generous (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while verticals remain straight and calm. The lowercase keeps a conventional structure with a two-storey a, a looped descender on g, and compact, readable bowls; numerals are straightforward and legible with round 0 and open, simply drawn forms.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a stable, readable slab can carry long passages while still offering enough character for headings. It can work for magazines, publishing, institutional materials, and brand systems that want a classic, dependable voice with clear letterforms and strong baseline structure.
The overall tone feels scholarly and traditional, with a composed, editorial presence rather than a loud display voice. Its slabs add a hint of authority and seriousness, while the wide stance and open shapes keep it approachable and clear in continuous reading.
The design appears intended to balance traditional slab-serif authority with clarity and ease of reading, using open shapes, steady strokes, and controlled details to maintain a consistent text texture across a range of sizes.
Serifs read as firm and slightly bracketed, helping soften the geometry and improve flow across lines. Spacing appears generous, contributing to an airy color in paragraphs and making punctuation and figures sit cleanly alongside text.
