A sturdy slab serif with softly bracketed, mostly rectangular serifs and moderate, even stroke modulation. Capitals are stately and open, with generous interior counters (notably in C, G, and O) and a calm, readable rhythm. The lowercase shows traditional text-face construction: a two-storey a and g, a diagonal-shouldered r, and clear differentiation between similarly shaped forms. Numerals are clear and text-friendly, with open shapes and steady spacing that supports continuous reading.
This face is well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a sturdy serif presence helps anchor the page. It can also work in identity systems and packaging that want a classic, trustworthy slab-serif voice, and in headings where its broad serifs add structure without heavy decoration.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority and familiarity without feeling ornate. Its blocky serifs and steady rhythm give it a grounded, dependable voice suited to serious or informational content.
The design appears intended as a readable, traditional slab serif for text and display use, balancing robust serif structure with softened details to keep paragraphs comfortable and word shapes familiar.
Several letters include subtle rounded details that soften the otherwise square-ended slab behavior, such as the ball terminal on the lowercase f and the teardrop-like ear on the lowercase g. The serif treatment stays consistent across cases, and the punctuation and word shapes in the sample text read cleanly at paragraph sizes.
