A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the corners. Strokes feel generally even, with subtle modulation and strong vertical stems that give the letters a solid, anchored texture. Counters are open and fairly generous, while terminals stay blunt and horizontal, creating a steady rhythm across words. The lowercase shows traditional forms (single-storey g, two-storey a) and maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes, producing a readable, no-nonsense typographic color.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial text where a steady rhythm and clear letterforms support comfortable reading. It also works effectively for newspaper-style layouts, captions, and section heads, and for institutional or academic materials that benefit from a sober, traditional voice.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a quiet seriousness suited to formal communication. Its robust slabs and measured proportions convey authority and a slightly old-style, bookish character without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable slab-serif reading experience with a traditional, print-oriented feel—emphasizing clarity, firmness, and a consistent typographic texture across mixed-case text and figures.
Round letters (C, O, Q) keep a firm, structured silhouette rather than becoming overly soft, and the numerals share the same sturdy, squared finishing. The design’s consistent serif treatment and strong baseline alignment help it hold up well in longer lines of text and in small headline settings where clarity matters.
