A sturdy slab serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and gently rounded joins that soften the overall texture. Strokes are fairly even and unmodulated, with clear, open counters and a steady rhythm in text. Proportions feel moderately narrow to average, with compact lowercase forms and straightforward, readable shapes; the numerals follow the same restrained, utilitarian construction.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable slab serif voice is desired. It also fits practical communication—reports, documentation, and institutional materials—where clarity and a grounded, traditional character are important.
The tone is traditional and dependable, leaning toward editorial seriousness without feeling rigid. Its softened corners and measured rhythm add a friendly, approachable edge that keeps it from reading as purely mechanical.
Designed to be a dependable slab serif workhorse: even texture, clear letterforms, and restrained detailing aimed at comfortable reading and consistent performance across paragraphs and headings.
The uppercase has a formal, inscription-like presence while the lowercase stays pragmatic, creating a useful hierarchy for mixed-case settings. Overall spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, producing a consistent gray value across lines.
