A crisp slab-serif with a restrained, lightly built texture and clean, square-ended terminals. Stems are straight and even, while bowls and rounds stay smooth and fairly open, giving the face a clear rhythm in text. Serifs read as sturdy blocks with minimal bracketing, and the overall drawing favors tidy geometry and consistent alignment across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Notable shapes include a distinctive slanted cross-stroke on the lowercase “e” and generally generous apertures that help keep small joins from clogging.
It suits long-form reading in books or journals where a firm serif structure and open counters support legibility, and it also works well for magazine layouts, pull quotes, and section heads that benefit from a crisp, authoritative slab-serif voice. The clean numerals and consistent texture make it appropriate for captions, sidebars, and informational copy alongside editorial content.
The font conveys a composed, literary tone—measured and traditional, but with a slightly modern crispness from its squared serifs and clean construction. It feels institutional and editorial rather than decorative, suggesting authority and clarity without becoming heavy or ornate.
The design appears intended to combine the steadiness of a traditional slab-serif with a refined, contemporary neatness—delivering an even reading texture, strong letter recognition, and a professional tone that scales from text to headings.
In the sample text, word shapes remain stable and legible, with a calm vertical cadence and clear differentiation between similar forms (for example, the numerals and the more angular uppercase). The lowercase maintains an even color with relatively open internal spaces, while capitals have a dignified, display-friendly presence.
