A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, blocky serifs and clear, medium stroke contrast. The forms are upright and generously proportioned, with broad capitals and open, rounded counters that keep the texture readable at text sizes. Terminals are confident and slightly softened; several lowercase letters show rounded or ball-like endings that add a human touch to the otherwise structured build. Numerals are robust and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with ample curves and strong horizontal feet where applicable, matching the serif rhythm of the letters.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong serif presence is desired—book interiors, essays, and magazine layouts—while also holding up for bold headlines and subheads. The sturdy slabs and clear counters make it a practical option for branding, packaging, and signage that needs a classic but friendly voice.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a scholarly, print-oriented voice. Its slabs and steady rhythm convey authority, while the softened joins and rounded details keep it approachable rather than severe.
Likely designed to deliver a reliable slab-serif workhorse that reads comfortably in extended text while still providing enough weight and serif presence for impactful headings. The blend of firm structure with slightly rounded detailing suggests an aim for approachable authority in print-like settings.
The sample text shows even color and comfortable spacing that supports continuous reading, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably I/l and the open forms in C, G, and O). The serif treatment remains consistent across cases, helping maintain a cohesive texture from display lines down into paragraph settings.
