A sturdy slab serif with generous proportions and a calm, even color. Serifs are broad and mostly flat with subtle bracketing, producing clear, square-shouldered joins and confident terminals. Strokes keep a consistent weight with minimal modulation, and the letterforms favor open bowls and counters for clarity. The lowercase shows a prominent x-height with straightforward, workmanlike shapes, while the capitals feel wide and stable with ample internal space.
Performs well for editorial typography—magazines, books, and long-form layouts—where a stable texture and clear serif structure help readability. It also suits headlines and subheads that need a confident, traditional tone, and brand systems looking for a pragmatic slab-serif voice without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with an editorial, bookish sensibility. Its slab serifs add a no-nonsense authority, reading as practical rather than decorative. The voice is steady and composed, suited to content that benefits from clarity and credibility.
Designed to deliver a clear, sturdy slab-serif reading experience with an understated, utilitarian character. The broad serifs and open forms suggest an emphasis on legibility and consistency across display sizes, aiming for a classic editorial feel with modern crispness.
Spacing and rhythm appear even in the sample text, with clear word shapes and a strong baseline presence. Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the text weight and maintaining the same sturdy, squared-off detailing seen in the letters.
