A calm slab serif with sturdy, mostly rectangular serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the overall silhouette. Strokes are fairly even with modest modulation, and terminals tend to end cleanly with flat edges. Proportions feel traditional rather than condensed, with clear, open counters and steady spacing that supports continuous reading. The lowercase shows a two-storey “g” and a two-storey “a”, plus a compact, readable rhythm across text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a steady texture and sturdy serifs help maintain legibility. It also works for institutional or professional communications—reports, brochures, and identity systems—that benefit from a classic slab-serif voice without heavy contrast.
The tone is bookish and composed, suggesting print tradition and careful editing rather than display-driven flash. Its slab structure adds a practical, dependable voice, while the subtle rounding and brackets keep it from feeling harsh or mechanical. Overall it reads as confident, familiar, and quietly authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, readable slab-serif texture for text and editorial settings, combining robust serifs with softened transitions to keep the page color even and comfortable over long passages.
In the text sample, the letterforms maintain clarity at larger paragraph sizes, with distinct shapes for easily confusable characters (notably a clear “I” and “l”). Numerals are straightforward and fairly linear, matching the text color without calling attention to themselves.
