A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and a steady, readable rhythm. Strokes are mostly even with subtle modulation, and the serifs read as bold, supportive terminals rather than hairline details. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in the vertical sense, with clear counters and conservative shapes that keep words compact and coherent. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the letterforms with consistent serif treatment and stable baseline behavior.
Works well for body copy in books and long-form editorial layouts where a firm serif structure improves line tracking and endurance. It also fits headlines, section openers, and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired, and it can support formal documents such as reports or program materials.
The overall tone is serious and composed, evoking editorial typography and institutional print. Its solid serifs and restrained detailing communicate reliability and formality without feeling ornate or delicate.
Likely designed to provide a durable, print-oriented slab-serif voice that balances classic proportions with strong serif presence for clarity and emphasis. The consistent construction suggests an aim for dependable readability across paragraphs while retaining enough character for editorial hierarchy.
In the text sample, spacing and word texture remain even, producing a calm, continuous gray value suited to long passages. The lowercase forms maintain clear differentiation (notably in the bowls and stems) and the capitals carry a measured, bookish presence.
