A classic slab-serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and clear, steady construction. Strokes show moderate modulation and a smooth rhythm, pairing round bowls with firm horizontals and verticals for a composed, page-ready texture. Counters are open and proportions feel slightly expansive, while terminals and joins stay clean and consistent, supporting even color in continuous text.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a steady, readable serif is needed. It can carry headlines and subheads confidently, then transition into paragraphs without feeling overly decorative.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a dependable, bookish presence that reads as thoughtful rather than flashy. Its slab-serifs add a grounded, authoritative feel suited to long-form reading and measured headlines.
The design appears intended as a reliable slab-serif for general typography: strong enough to hold structure and hierarchy, but restrained and familiar so it performs consistently across paragraphs, captions, and display sizes.
Uppercase forms are stately and well-balanced, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian approach with familiar shapes and restrained detailing. Numerals are clear and conventional, matching the text style and maintaining the same sturdy serif logic for cohesive mixed-content setting.
