A sturdy slab serif with broad proportions and a calm, even stroke color. Serifs are blunt and mostly square-ended, giving terminals a firm, grounded finish. Curves are generously rounded but controlled, with a moderate vertical stress and clean joins; counters stay open and legible in text. The overall rhythm is measured and traditional, with slightly compact interior spaces balanced by the wide set that keeps lines from feeling cramped.
Well-suited for editorial typography—books, essays, and magazine layouts—where a strong serif presence helps guide the eye across lines. Its sturdy slabs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section labels that need to feel grounded without becoming heavy.
The tone reads dependable and formal, with an old-style, print-forward confidence. Its blunt slabs add a no-nonsense solidity, suggesting reference books, institutions, and long-form reading where clarity and authority matter more than flair.
The design appears intended as a practical slab serif for reading environments: solid, familiar forms with decisive, square-ended serifs that keep texture consistent and legibility reliable across sizes.
The text sample shows stable word shapes and consistent spacing, supporting comfortable paragraph setting. Numerals appear straightforward and workmanlike, matching the same robust, squared-terminal logic as the letters.
