A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, mostly squared serifs and subtle bracketing into the stems. Strokes are even and low-contrast, producing a calm, consistent texture in paragraphs. Capitals are broad and stately with clear, traditional proportions, while the lowercase shows compact, readable shapes and a two-storey a and g. Terminals are generally flat and crisp, with rounded joins and counters that stay open at text sizes; numerals follow the same robust, print-oriented construction.
Well-suited to book and long-form reading, where the stable stroke weight and strong serifs support comfortable scanning. It also performs nicely for editorial headlines, chapter titles, and pull quotes that need a classic, print-forward voice. The robust construction makes it a practical choice for academic or institutional documents and signage-style applications where clarity matters.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in books and institutional settings. Its solid slabs and steady rhythm convey authority without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, print-classic slab serif that balances traditional letterforms with crisp, squared finishing. It aims for a dependable text face that can scale up to display sizes while retaining a strong, authoritative presence.
In running text the face maintains a strong baseline and a slightly dense, ink-on-paper presence, giving headings and pull quotes a confident, old-style print character. The boldness of the serifs helps letters stay distinct when set tightly or on lower-resolution outputs.
