A sturdy slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The proportions are traditional and readable, with moderate counters and a steady rhythm across text. Serifs are clean and mostly unbracketed, giving the outlines a crisp, constructed feel while maintaining familiar book-style letter skeletons. Round characters stay fairly open and even, and the numerals follow the same pragmatic, no-nonsense structure.

It can also support headlines and subheads when a classic slab presence is needed without heavy stylization. Suitable for branding that aims for heritage, reliability, or institutional clarity.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with an academic, editorial flavor. Its slab construction adds a sense of solidity and authority, reading as practical rather than decorative. The look suggests seriousness and clarity, suitable for text that should feel established and trustworthy.
Likely intended as a straightforward, highly legible slab-serif for general-purpose typesetting, combining classic proportions with square, emphatic serifs to add sturdiness and presence. The design prioritizes consistency and readability across both display sizes and continuous text.
