A sturdy slab serif with broad, bracketed serifs and low stroke modulation. The shapes are upright and clear, with open counters and a steady, even rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Serifs are prominent on stems and terminals, giving a grounded, slightly rectangular silhouette, while curves (C, O, S) remain smooth and controlled. Numerals are straightforward and readable, with strong verticals and simple, print-oriented construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and long-form reading where a sturdy serif can improve line-to-line guidance. It also works for headlines, reports, and institutional or heritage branding that benefits from a solid, no-nonsense slab serif presence. The clear numerals make it a reasonable choice for tables, basic data callouts, and informational signage.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a distinctly print and editorial feel. Its heavy serifs lend an authoritative, institutional character without becoming decorative, making the voice feel measured and practical rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a practical slab serif for everyday typesetting—prioritizing legibility, consistency, and a firm typographic footprint. Its emphasis is on dependable forms and strong serifs that read clearly in both display sizes and continuous text.
In text settings the letterforms hold a consistent color and maintain good separation between characters, aided by the open apertures and clear joining logic. The lowercase shows a familiar, conventional structure (two-storey a and g), reinforcing a classic, workmanlike impression.
