Spacing appears generous, supporting clear word shapes in running text.

The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with an editorial seriousness that feels familiar and established. Its strong slabs add a confident, slightly utilitarian voice—more pragmatic than decorative—suited to content that benefits from clarity and authority.
Likely drawn to provide a reliable slab-serif for text and display use, emphasizing clarity, sturdiness, and a traditional print-oriented feel. The design prioritizes consistent texture and strong terminals to remain legible and distinctive across varied sizes.
