A sturdy slab-serif with firm, blocky serifs and a largely even stroke weight. The forms lean toward rounded bowls and open counters, with moderate proportions and comfortable spacing that keeps paragraphs clear. Serifs are substantial and mostly squared off, giving the letters a grounded baseline presence while maintaining smooth curves in C/G/O/Q and the lowercases. Numerals are clear and readable, with classic shapes and consistent alignment to the text rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial layouts and book typography where a steady, readable texture is needed. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that benefits from a reliable, slightly traditional slab-serif voice.
The overall tone feels editorial and dependable, combining a classic printed-page sensibility with a pragmatic, workmanlike solidity. It reads as confident and composed rather than flashy, with a familiar, institutional warmth that suits long-form reading.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, highly legible slab-serif for practical typesetting, balancing strong serifs and even strokes with open, friendly interior spaces for comfortable reading.
The uppercase shows a strong, stable stance with prominent horizontal serifs, while the lowercase maintains a traditional texture with clear differentiation between similar shapes. The font’s consistent weight and sturdy terminals help it hold up well in continuous text and at moderate display sizes.
