A sturdy slab-serif with mostly even stroke weight and pronounced, square-cut serifs that read as blunt and confident. Curves are generously rounded and open, while joins stay clean and relatively sharp, producing a crisp silhouette. Uppercase forms feel compact and steady, with clear horizontals on E/F/T and broad bowls on B/D/O; lowercase maintains a familiar book-face structure with a two-storey a and g, a vertical, slabbed f, and a straightforward, readable r. Numerals are plainspoken and legible, with simple construction and consistent serif treatment that keeps them aligned with the text tone.
Works well for long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine articles where a steady slab-serif texture is desirable. It also suits headings, pull quotes, and captions that benefit from a firm, traditional voice without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is classic and pragmatic, with an academic, print-oriented flavor. Its blocky serifs and matter-of-fact proportions evoke traditional publishing, reference material, and institutional typography, while the squared terminals add a subtle vintage, workmanlike character.
Likely designed as a dependable slab-serif for general-purpose composition, prioritizing clarity, consistent texture, and a recognizable print aesthetic. The squared serifs and straightforward letterforms aim to balance warmth from rounded curves with authority from firm terminals.
Spacing appears comfortable and even in the text sample, supporting continuous reading and giving the face a calm rhythm. The square-ended details are consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
