A sturdy slab serif with broad proportions and a tall x-height, giving it a strong, readable texture at text sizes. Strokes are largely even with minimal contrast, while the serifs read as solid, squared slabs with slight softening/bracketing that keeps joins from feeling harsh. Curves are round and open (notably in C, O, and e), and spacing appears generous, producing an even rhythm across lines. Figures are clear and sturdy, with simple, upright construction that matches the letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a firm serif voice and comfortable readability are needed. The wide stance and strong slabs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and branding that aims for a credible, established impression.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a dependable, editorial feel. Its confident slabs and calm, open shapes suggest authority and clarity rather than ornament or eccentricity, making it feel at home in established, institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to balance robust slab-serif authority with comfortable reading manners, using open counters, even stroke weight, and a tall x-height to maintain clarity while projecting a traditional, dependable voice.
The uppercase has a composed, traditional presence while the lowercase remains highly legible due to the tall x-height and open apertures. Overall color on the page is steady and slightly expansive, favoring clarity and calm over tight, dense typography.
