A sturdy serif with pronounced slab-like serifs and largely squared-off terminals, giving the letterforms a solid, architectural feel. Strokes are even and steady with minimal modulation, and the design maintains clean verticals, open counters, and a measured, readable rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and confident, while the lowercase shows familiar book-text constructions (two-storey a and g) with compact joins and firm, rectangular serifs that anchor the baseline. Numerals are clear and conventionally drawn, matching the font’s consistent, no-nonsense texture in continuous text.
Performs well in long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, even texture is important. It also suits reports, institutional communications, and straightforward headlines that benefit from a confident serif voice without high-contrast delicacy.
The overall tone is sober and dependable, combining a classic publishing voice with a slightly robust, utilitarian presence. It reads as professional and grounded rather than decorative, suited to contexts where clarity and authority matter.
Likely designed as a practical slab serif for comfortable reading and dependable hierarchy, pairing traditional serif proportions with squarer, sturdier finishing details for a more contemporary, workmanlike edge.
The slab treatment is assertive without becoming heavy, and the squarish finishing details create crisp word shapes at display sizes while still holding together in paragraphs. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, producing an even typographic color in the sample text.
