A sturdy slab-serif with mostly uniform stroke weight and clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs. The design favors broad proportions and open internal spaces, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the heavy structure from feeling harsh. Curves are smooth and slightly squarish in places (notably in bowls and the S), while verticals remain steady and confident. Numerals are clear and workmanlike, with simple, readable forms that match the letters’ slabbed rhythm.
Well suited to editorial typography where a steady, readable texture is needed—books, long-form articles, and print-inspired layouts. The robust serifs and open counters also make it a solid choice for reports, institutional communications, and headings that want a traditional, grounded voice without high-contrast delicacy.
The font reads as dependable and traditional, with a subtle old-style warmth that suggests printed matter and established institutions. Its wide stance and firm serifs give it a calm authority, while the softened details keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, print-rooted slab serif for comfortable reading and clear hierarchy. Its broad proportions and softened slab details aim for an authoritative but friendly tone that holds up across paragraphs and prominent headings alike.
Across the sample text, the letterspacing and overall color stay even, producing a consistent texture suited to continuous reading. The lowercase shows straightforward, familiar forms and a pragmatic, text-forward character rather than display eccentricity.
