A sturdy slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and mostly low stroke modulation. The design keeps an upright posture with generous apertures and clear, open counters, producing an even, readable texture in paragraph settings. Serifs are pronounced and steady, with a generally crisp, squared finish that gives strokes a grounded, constructed feel. Numerals and capitals sit solidly on the baseline, and the overall spacing reads balanced without feeling tight or overly airy.
Well-suited to editorial typography where clarity and a confident, print-like voice are desired—book and magazine text, essays, reports, and accompanying headlines. It can also work for branding that needs a classic, trustworthy presence without high contrast or calligraphic flair.
The tone is traditional and dependable, with a lightly historical, print-oriented character. Its strong slabs add authority and stability, while the open shapes keep it approachable and practical rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable slab-serif for general-purpose typography, balancing firm, square serifs with open, legible letterforms for comfortable text setting and reliable display use.
In text, the rhythm is consistent and calm, supporting sustained reading. The slabs are visually assertive enough to hold up in headings, yet the letterforms remain restrained and functional for longer passages.
