A sturdy slab-serif with clearly defined, squared serifs and a measured, text-oriented rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin variation, with confident verticals and slightly lighter connecting curves that keep counters open. The serifs read largely flat and substantial, often with gentle bracketing that softens transitions into the stems. Round letters are smooth and generously proportioned, while diagonals and joins stay clean and controlled, giving the alphabet a stable, well-aligned texture in both display and paragraph settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a robust serif can hold up across paragraphs. It also performs confidently in section heads, pull quotes, and institutional or business communication where a traditional, grounded voice is desirable.
The overall tone is formal and dependable, with a scholarly, editorial feel. Its firm serifs and composed proportions suggest tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate, making it read as serious, literate, and composed.
The design appears intended to balance classic readability with a stronger, more architectural serif presence. Its controlled contrast and substantial slab details point to a typeface made for dependable text setting while still offering enough character for prominent editorial typography.
Numerals appear clear and conventional, with strong baseline presence and consistent weight. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable construction, and the family’s slab details remain legible at text sizes, contributing to an even color across lines.
