This typeface is a sturdy slab-serif with crisp, mostly unbracketed rectangular serifs and clear stroke modulation. Capitals show classical proportions with generous bowls and a slightly refined contrast, while maintaining a firm, square-ended finish on terminals. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with rounded counters, a two-storey “a,” and a single-storey “g,” creating a familiar text rhythm. The numerals are open and legible, with a notably round “0” and strong horizontal feet and caps that reinforce a stable baseline and cap line.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, reports, and book interiors where a robust serif can hold up across paragraphs. The pronounced slabs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that needs a classic, trustworthy voice with strong typographic color.
The overall tone feels dependable and bookish, balancing traditional letterform structure with a clean, no-nonsense slab-serif presence. It conveys an academic, editorial voice—serious without feeling rigid—thanks to the mix of sturdy slabs and smooth, rounded interior spaces.
The font appears designed to provide a practical, readable slab-serif for extended text while retaining enough character and firmness to work in headlines and identity applications. Its consistent square-ended details and balanced proportions suggest an emphasis on clarity, stability, and an editorial feel.
The design maintains consistent serif geometry across cases and figures, giving text a steady horizontal emphasis. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, and the strong serifs help preserve clarity in mixed-case settings and at moderate display sizes.
