A sturdy slab-serif with unbracketed, squared terminals and a broadly even stroke weight. Curves are full and smooth but held in check by flat-cut endings, giving the letterforms a crisp, engineered finish. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains clear, straightforward shapes with a compact, practical rhythm. Numerals are solid and readable, with simple construction and consistent alignment that suits continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book or long-form reading, and magazine settings where a sturdy serif texture is desirable. It also performs confidently in headlines and subheads, and can support branding and packaging that aims for a classic, trustworthy, slightly utilitarian impression.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with an academic/editorial sensibility. Its square serifs and firm structure project authority and clarity rather than delicacy, creating a traditional voice that still feels utilitarian and direct.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with the firmness and presence of slab terminals. It aims for clear, no-nonsense letterforms that maintain authority in text while providing enough character for display use.
In the text sample, spacing and color appear even, producing a consistent texture that holds up well at paragraph scale. The pronounced slab terminals add a strong baseline and cap-line presence, helping lines of text feel anchored and stable.
