A sturdy slab serif with clearly bracketed serifs and squarish terminals that give the forms a grounded, architectural feel. Strokes are even and calm, with a moderate presence and clear joins that stay crisp at text sizes. Proportions run slightly broad with generous sidebearings, and the overall rhythm is measured rather than tight. Counters are open and rounded, while horizontals and serifs read firm and straight, creating a consistent, no-nonsense texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books, articles, and magazine layouts where a steady, readable texture is important. The solid slabs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section titling when a traditional, dependable voice is desired.
The font conveys a composed, traditional tone with an editorial confidence. Its slab structure suggests reliability and practicality, while the soft bracketing keeps it approachable rather than harsh. Overall it feels bookish and established, suited to content that benefits from clarity and authority.
The design appears aimed at delivering dependable readability with a distinctly slab-serif identity, balancing robust serifs with rounded interior shapes for an even, comfortable text color. It prioritizes consistency and clarity across alphabets and numerals while maintaining a classic editorial character.
Uppercase forms maintain a stable, formal posture, while the lowercase shows familiar, readable shapes with straightforward terminals and a steady baseline. Numerals are clear and comfortably proportioned, matching the same robust serif logic and maintaining an even typographic color in running text.
