A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, squared-off serifs and largely flat terminals, paired with moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show open counters and clear, conventional constructions, with a balanced x-height and steady baseline rhythm. Serifs feel substantial and supportive rather than delicate, giving the shapes a stable, grounded texture in text. Figures are clear and traditional, with consistent weight distribution that holds up well at reading sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a firm serif texture helps guide the eye. It can also serve effectively in academic and institutional materials, headings paired with body text, and typographic systems that need a traditional serif voice with extra sturdiness.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, projecting reliability and seriousness. Its sturdy slabs and measured contrast lend an editorial, bookish character that feels institutional and trustworthy rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a practical slab-serif for text-forward applications, combining traditional proportions with robust, square-ended serifs to achieve strong presence, dependable readability, and a distinctly editorial texture.
In paragraph settings the type forms a dense, confident color without looking compressed, and the generous counters help maintain clarity. The capitals have a formal, inscribed presence, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workhorse demeanor suitable for continuous reading.
