A clean slab-serif with bracketed, squared serifs and a restrained, even rhythm. Strokes stay largely consistent with minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a steady, utilitarian texture. Proportions are compact with relatively tight fit, while counters remain open and shapes stay straightforward. Details like the rounded joins, clear apertures, and solid horizontal serifs keep text color stable across mixed-case and numerals.
Works well for extended reading in editorial and publishing settings, including books, magazines, essays, and long-form articles. It also suits practical communication like reports, documentation, and institutional materials where a traditional slab-serif voice and consistent texture support legibility.
The overall tone feels dependable and conventional, with an editorial, bookish presence rather than a decorative one. Its matter-of-fact slab structure suggests clarity and authority, suited to contexts where typography should feel established and quietly confident.
Designed as a straightforward, dependable slab serif for everyday typesetting, prioritizing clarity, consistent rhythm, and a familiar serif structure. The forms avoid gimmicks and aim for a neutral, versatile voice that holds up across paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
Capitals read stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a consistent baseline presence. Numerals appear simple and workmanlike, matching the same serif treatment and steady weight for coherent setting in text and tabular-like contexts.
