A crisp slab-serif with relatively even stroke weight and sturdy, squared serifs that often show subtle bracketing where they meet the stem. The letterforms are upright and spacious, with open counters and clear interior shapes that keep text color even in paragraphs. Terminals tend to be flat and decisive, and the overall rhythm reads steady and composed rather than calligraphic. Numerals and capitals follow the same structured, slightly expansive proportions, giving the face a confident, architectural feel.
Well-suited to editorial design, long-form reading, and magazine typography where even texture and sturdy serifs support comfortable scanning. It can also serve brand systems and product copy that need a dependable, modern serif with enough character for headings and subheads.
The font conveys a measured, editorial tone—serious without feeling heavy. Its clear geometry and consistent detailing suggest reliability and clarity, with a contemporary, no-nonsense voice that still feels at home in traditional reading contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, readable slab-serif voice that performs consistently from display sizes down into text. Its restrained contrast, open counters, and firm serif structure aim to combine contemporary clarity with traditional typographic authority.
In running text, the generous spacing and open forms help maintain clarity, while the slab details add presence for headings and pull quotes. The mixture of rounded bowls with squared serif accents creates a balanced blend of friendliness and discipline.
