A plainspoken slab serif with sturdy, mostly rectangular serifs and gently bracketed transitions into the stems. Stroke weight stays even across curves and straight elements, producing a consistent, low-drama texture in paragraphs. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters and straightforward terminals; curves are round without exaggerated modulation. Lowercase forms read traditional and workmanlike, with a single-storey g, a simple ear on the g, and a q with a clear descending tail; figures are lining and straightforward, including a curved 2 and open-bowled 3.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and reports where a stable, familiar serif texture is desired. It can also serve headings and pull quotes when a solid, traditional slab presence is needed without turning into a display face.
The overall tone is steady and familiar, leaning toward an editorial and institutional voice rather than expressive display. Its slab serifs add a sense of structure and reliability while remaining understated and readable.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose slab serif: clear forms, restrained details, and consistent strokes aimed at readability and a confident, structured typographic voice.
In text, the font maintains a consistent rhythm and comfortable spacing, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I/l and O/0) and unobtrusive punctuation. The capitals feel slightly formal and monument-like, while the lowercase keeps the texture even for continuous reading.
