The letterforms are upright and fairly open, with rounded bowls that transition into flat terminals, creating a clear square-meets-curve rhythm. Capitals feel classic and stately with moderate proportions, while the lowercase is readable and workmanlike, showing strong verticals and straightforward joins. Numerals are clear and slightly oldstyle-leaning in feel, with ample interior space and decisive slab finishes.

The overall tone is solid and dependable, with a traditional, editorial voice. It suggests printed matter—books, journals, and institutional materials—where clarity and authority matter more than flash. The slab detailing adds a confident, grounded character without becoming heavy or overly decorative.
Likely designed to deliver a reliable slab-serif reading experience with a traditional print sensibility, combining strong square-ended details with comfortable, familiar proportions for sustained use in text and editorial layouts.
