This typeface is a sturdy slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and terminals and an even, steady stroke weight. Letterforms are upright and cleanly drawn, with broad curves, open counters, and minimal stroke modulation, giving it a clear, mechanical regularity. The lowercase shows straightforward, readable shapes with a two-storey “g” and compact joins, while capitals maintain consistent width and a measured, vertical rhythm. Numerals are clear and traditional in proportion, matching the same crisp slab treatment and simple geometry.
Well-suited to long-form reading in print and on screen, especially for books, magazines, and editorial layouts that benefit from a firm serif presence. It can also serve nicely in reports and documentation where a stable, traditional tone and clear letterforms are priorities.
The overall tone feels practical and authoritative, with a quiet academic or editorial sensibility rather than decorative flair. Its squared serifs and steady rhythm convey stability and seriousness, reading as dependable and matter-of-fact.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, no-nonsense slab-serif voice for continuous text—pairing sturdy square serifs with open, simple forms to maintain clarity at typical text sizes while preserving an authoritative, editorial feel.
In running text, the spacing and open counters keep lines from feeling cramped, while the slab serifs add a firm baseline and strong word-shape cues. The design favors clarity and structure over expressiveness, producing a consistent texture across mixed-case setting.
