A sturdy slab-serif design with broad, squared serifs and softly bracketed joins that smooth the transitions into the stems. Strokes are even and low-contrast, with generous counters and a consistent, measured rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase is compact and workmanlike, with clear terminals and a single-storey g; overall proportions favor stability and clarity over sharp delicacy.
It performs well in longer reading contexts such as editorial layouts, textbooks, and reports where a sturdy serif can maintain clarity at small to medium sizes. The bold-ish slab presence also suits headings, captions, and practical signage or labeling where firmness and legibility are priorities.
The tone feels dependable and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and practical rather than trendy. Its slab structure gives it a confident, grounded voice suitable for straightforward communication.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif workhorse: stable, readable, and consistent across mixed-case text and numerals. Its emphasis is on familiar construction and reliable texture for everyday typography rather than expressive display styling.
Numerals are clear and substantial, matching the letterforms’ weight and serif treatment, and the overall texture in paragraph settings is dense but controlled. The shapes avoid decorative quirks, aiming for a calm, consistent page color.
