A sturdy slab-serif with crisp, mostly square-ended serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes are generally uniform with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as firm horizontal platforms that give the letters a grounded, architectural feel. Proportions are balanced and fairly open, with clear counters and straightforward construction; the lowercase shows a two-storey “g” and a single-storey “a,” and the numerals are clear and upright with wide, stable shapes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, readable slab-serif voice is desired, including magazines, reports, and book interiors. It also performs well for headings, pull quotes, and identity systems that need a confident, classic tone with strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is dependable and traditional, with a bookish, institutional character. Its squared-off finishing and steady color suggest practicality and confidence rather than delicacy or flourish.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust, highly legible slab-serif texture with square, decisive finishing, aiming for clarity and durability in both display and text contexts.
The design maintains consistent spacing and a controlled texture in paragraph settings, supporting long-form reading. Capitals feel formal and structured, while the lowercase remains approachable and legible, keeping the voice professional without becoming overly rigid.
