A sturdy slab-serif with clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs and gently modulated strokes. The design reads as low-contrast overall, but with enough shaping in joins and terminals to keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Proportions are generous and slightly expanded, with open counters and a calm, even rhythm across words. Lowercase shows traditional forms (two-storey a and g) and small details like ball terminals on letters such as a, c, and f, while figures are robust and straightforward with strong baseline presence.
Well suited to editorial systems where a dependable, readable serif is needed—magazines, long-form articles, and book layouts. The expanded proportions and emphatic serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography that wants a classic, trustworthy presence without looking overly delicate.
The tone is editorial and literary, suggesting printed text, institutional communication, and book typography. Its slab-serifs add a confident, grounded voice, while the rounded terminals and open counters soften the feel into something approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a workhorse slab-serif that balances robustness with readability. It aims to deliver a confident typographic voice for print-like settings, combining strong serifs and traditional letterforms with enough openness and warmth to stay comfortable in extended text.
The sample text shows consistent color and stable spacing in continuous reading, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I/l/1 and O/0). Capitals appear firm and formal, while the lowercase brings a slightly warmer, more conversational texture through rounded terminals and traditional serif detailing.
