A straightforward slab-serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and mostly even stroke weight. The letterforms are open and generously proportioned, with round bowls and clear, uncluttered joins that keep texture steady in paragraph settings. Curves are smooth and restrained rather than calligraphic, and terminals finish cleanly, giving the design a crisp, readable silhouette across upper- and lowercase as well as numerals.
Well-suited to body copy and long-form reading in books, articles, and reports where a steady, legible texture matters. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a classic slab-serif signal—confident and practical—without drawing attention away from content.
The overall tone is dependable and workmanlike, with a quietly classic, editorial feel. Its slab serifs add a hint of authority and tradition without becoming ornate, making the voice feel composed and trustworthy rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif for everyday typography: strong enough to hold a page, neutral enough to pair with other styles, and optimized for clear reading in continuous text and functional display settings.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and a stable horizontal rhythm, producing an even gray value on the page. Numerals appear clear and familiar in structure, matching the same no-nonsense, text-first approach as the letters.
