A sturdy slab serif with softly bracketed, block-like serifs and low contrast strokes. Forms are upright and calmly proportioned, with a relatively short x-height and generous sidebearings that create an even, readable rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly rounded at joins and terminals, lending a mild softness to the otherwise workmanlike structure. Numerals are clear and traditional, mixing straight stems with rounded bowls and maintaining the same solid slab footing as the letters.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, editorial layouts, and reports where a sturdy serif can anchor dense text. It can also serve effectively for headings, pull quotes, and captions when a traditional, structured voice is desired without high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a bookish, editorial feel. Its blunt slabs suggest authority and practicality, while the rounded shaping keeps the voice approachable rather than severe. The result reads as quietly traditional—suited to content that wants to feel established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, text-friendly slab serif that prioritizes clarity and consistency. Its softened slabs and restrained detailing aim to balance durability with a comfortable reading texture across paragraphs and mixed-size typography.
Capital forms show broad, steady silhouettes with minimal flourish, while lowercase letters retain simple, familiar constructions that emphasize legibility. The punctuation and figures sit comfortably with the text, supporting continuous reading without drawing attention to themselves.
