A traditional slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and subtly bracketed joins that soften the overall texture. Stroke modulation is moderate and consistent, with clear vertical stress and calm, even rhythm across lines of text. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with open counters and straightforward, readable forms; capitals sit with an authoritative presence while lowercase maintains a familiar, book-text structure (two-storey a and g). Terminals are generally flat and decisive, and the numerals share the same steady, typographic color.
Well-suited to body copy in books, articles, and other editorial settings where a steady, readable serif texture is needed. It also fits academic or institutional materials—reports, documentation, and formal correspondence—where a clear, authoritative voice benefits from slab-serif structure.
The font reads as composed and institutional, with a measured, literary tone. Its slab details add confidence and structure without becoming decorative, making the overall impression practical, dependable, and quietly formal.
The design appears intended to provide a familiar, text-centric slab serif that balances firmness with readability. Its restrained contrast, bracketed slabs, and conventional lowercase construction suggest a focus on comfortable continuous reading and dependable typographic tone.
In the sample text, spacing and letterforms produce a smooth, even texture suitable for longer passages. The design avoids exaggerated quirks, leaning on conventional shapes and consistent serif treatment to support clarity and a stable page color.
