A composed slab-serif with sturdy, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the otherwise rectilinear structure. Strokes read as largely even, with round counters in letters like O and C and clear, open apertures that keep forms readable in text. Capitals feel broad and stable with classical proportions, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm; the two-storey a and g reinforce a conventional text face sensibility. Numerals are clear and straightforward, with a simple, legible construction that matches the letterforms’ restrained detailing.
It suits extended reading in editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine text where a steady rhythm and clear letterforms are essential. The firm slabs and broad capitals also make it effective for section headings, pull quotes, and secondary headlines that need structure without high contrast.
The overall tone is practical and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness without feeling heavy or ornate. Its slab presence adds a quietly authoritative, slightly vintage flavor—more library and newsroom than fashion or tech.
The design appears aimed at a reliable text-and-display workhorse that brings slab-serif solidity to contemporary editorial typography. Its restrained shaping and open forms suggest an emphasis on clarity, consistency, and comfortable reading across paragraphs and headings.
The sample text shows an even, consistent color across lines and comfortable word shapes, helped by the open counters and controlled detailing at terminals. Curves and slabs balance well, giving the face a solid footprint while staying crisp at display sizes.
