A steady slab-serif with moderate proportions, clear vertical stress, and visibly bracketed slab serifs. Strokes stay fairly even across curves and stems, producing a calm, low-drama texture in text. Letterforms are open and legible, with round bowls, a straightforward two-storey “a,” and a double-storey “g” that keeps counters distinct. The overall rhythm is even and readable, with slightly rounded joins and clean, squared-off terminals that feel crisp without becoming rigid.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, articles, and reports where an even, stable texture matters. It also works effectively for editorial headlines and subheads that need a restrained slab-serif presence without becoming overly decorative.
The font projects a composed, bookish tone—confident and dependable rather than expressive. Its slab serifs add a subtle sense of authority and structure, while the even stroke treatment keeps the voice practical and contemporary enough for everyday reading.
The design appears intended as a reliable slab-serif workhorse: sturdy, highly legible forms with enough serif character to add structure, while staying neutral and consistent for repeated use across text and editorial layouts.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and measured, while lowercase maintains a clear, familiar construction for continuous text. Numerals share the same restrained, even color, with simple shapes that read cleanly at display and text sizes.
