A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, blocky terminals and an even, measured rhythm. Strokes stay fairly uniform with modest modulation, and joins are firm and well-defined, giving letters a solid, grounded presence. Uppercase forms are classical and restrained, while lowercase shapes keep a clear, readable skeleton with round counters and straightforward construction. Numerals follow the same workmanlike logic, with clear silhouettes and consistent weight distribution that holds up well across text and display sizes.
Well-suited to extended reading in editorial layouts, textbooks, reports, and other content-forward typography where a steady texture and strong letterforms are helpful. It can also serve in branding and headings when a classic, trustworthy slab-serif voice is desired without overt stylization.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a slightly editorial, old-style print sensibility. It feels practical rather than flashy, projecting clarity, authority, and a calm seriousness suited to everyday reading and straightforward messaging.
This design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif for broad utility: solid, readable forms with conservative details that prioritize consistency and legibility over decorative character.
Serifs read as thick and supportive rather than delicate, helping forms sit firmly on the baseline and keeping spacing feeling stable. The punctuation and ampersand blend into the same robust texture, maintaining a consistent typographic color across lines.
