A sturdy slab-serif with mostly even stroke weight and gently rounded curves paired with square, flat-ended terminals. Serifs are prominent and largely bracketed, creating a grounded rhythm and a slightly softened, print-like texture rather than a purely geometric feel. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters, and the lowercase shows clear differentiation (single-storey g, double-storey a) that supports comfortable text setting. Numerals align with the same robust structure, with rounded bowls and firm slab finishing.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where a firm serif presence is desired, including magazines, reports, and book typography. It can also serve in headlines and subheads for a confident, traditional voice, and in branding that benefits from an established, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, evoking book typography and institutional editorial design. Its assertive slabs add a confident, slightly vintage voice without feeling ornamental or fussy.
Likely designed to deliver a robust slab-serif texture that stays readable in continuous text while providing enough serif weight to hold its own in display sizes. The mix of strong slabs and softened curves suggests an aim for practical, print-oriented versatility.
The design balances crisp horizontal/vertical endings with subtly curved joins, producing a stable, legible color in paragraphs. Capitals read formal and steady, while the lowercase retains warmth through rounded forms and generous interior space.
