A sturdy slab-serif with broad, bracketed serifs and largely monolinear strokes. The letterforms are built on rational, compact proportions with open counters and a steady, even rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and slightly squared in feeling, while joins and terminals stay crisp without ornamental flaring. Numerals and capitals read firmly and consistently, giving the design a solid, typeset texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited for editorial body copy where a firm, steady texture is desirable, and it scales comfortably into subheads and headlines without turning decorative. It also fits packaging or labeling that benefits from a robust, traditional voice and clear letterforms.
The overall tone is pragmatic and dependable, with a familiar bookish authority. Its slab construction adds a sense of groundedness and quiet confidence, leaning more toward utility than display personality.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif for general-purpose typography, prioritizing consistency, readability, and a confident printed feel. Its restrained details suggest it’s meant to function reliably across a range of sizes and everyday applications.
In text, the serifs create a strong horizontal cadence that helps lines feel anchored. The shapes stay straightforward and calm, producing an even color that suits continuous reading and structured layouts.
