A sturdy slab-serif with a compact, text-focused build and even, low-contrast strokes. Serifs are bold and mostly squared-off with subtle bracketing, giving corners a slightly softened, carved feel rather than a hard geometric snap. Curves are round and open in letters like C, O, and e, while joins and shoulders stay firm and controlled for consistent rhythm. The lowercase shows a clear, readable structure with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, sturdy i, and a t with a broad top, all reinforcing a measured, print-oriented texture. Numerals are straightforward and evenly weighted, matching the letterforms’ calm, no-nonsense presence.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a sturdy serif helps anchor the page. It also fits academic and corporate documents, captions, and informational typography that benefits from clear letterforms and a steady texture. At larger sizes, its strong slabs can support restrained branding, packaging, or headlines that want a traditional, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone feels bookish and dependable—classic without being delicate. Its hefty slabs lend authority and a touch of institutional seriousness, while the open bowls keep it approachable and readable.
Likely designed to provide a robust, highly readable slab-serif for print-like typography, balancing strong serif presence with open counters and controlled proportions for comfortable continuous text.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even, stable color across long lines, with serifs providing strong horizontal cues and good line-to-line continuity. The mix of squared terminals and gently rounded curves creates a pragmatic, slightly old-style warmth rather than a strictly mechanical feel.
