A refined slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay even and controlled, with a measured rhythm and open counters that keep the page color steady in longer text. Capitals are proportioned with a traditional, inscriptional feel, while the lowercase shows a straightforward structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact e, and calmly shaped bowls and shoulders. Numerals are clear and conventional, with simple, readable forms and consistent alignment.
This font is well suited to body copy in books, magazines, and long-form editorial layouts where consistent texture and clear letterforms matter. It also fits academic and institutional materials, reports, and documentation that benefit from a traditional slab-serif presence.
The overall tone is composed and traditional, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than playful or trendy. Its steady rhythm and restrained details give it a dependable, quietly authoritative voice suited to serious reading and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a practical, general-purpose slab serif that prioritizes readability and typographic neutrality, offering a classic serif voice with the added stability and structure of slab terminals.
Serifs are prominent enough to anchor lines and improve word-shape continuity without becoming heavy or decorative. Curves and joins are clean and slightly softened by bracketing, helping the design feel polished and comfortable in paragraph settings.
