A clean slab-serif with lightly bracketed, squared terminals and a restrained, even rhythm. Strokes read mostly consistent with subtle modulation, and the serifs are firm without feeling heavy, giving the letterforms clear endpoints. Proportions are moderately open: round characters are smooth and spacious, while straighter forms keep a tidy, vertical stance. Numerals and lowercase maintain a straightforward, text-oriented build with clear joins and unforced curves.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, magazine articles, and editorial layouts where a stable text color and clear letter endings help guide the eye. It can also serve in reports, academic material, and branding that wants a traditional slab-serif voice without overt stylization.
The tone is composed and editorial, balancing practicality with a touch of traditional refinement. It feels bookish and credible rather than playful, projecting clarity and a measured seriousness suited to reading environments.
Likely designed as a dependable slab-serif for continuous reading, pairing sturdy serifs with restrained shaping to maintain comfort and consistency across paragraphs and headings.
The design keeps details minimal—serifs, joins, and curves are consistent across the set—so the texture stays even in paragraphs. The italics are not shown; the sample indicates a steady roman voice with good clarity at display and text sizes.
