A crisp slab-serif with square, flat-ended serifs and a steady, fairly even stroke presence that reads cleanly at text sizes. The capitals are upright and classical in proportion, with compact internal counters and firm horizontal terminals that create a strong baseline and cap-line. Lowercase forms feel compact with a comparatively low x-height, tall ascenders, and clear vertical emphasis; details like the two-storey “a” and single-storey “g” add a familiar, text-oriented rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, with open shapes and confident slab terminations that keep them legible in running copy.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book or long-form text, and headings that need a sturdy, traditional presence. It can also support academic materials, reports, and heritage-leaning branding where clarity and authority are more important than ornament.
The overall tone is scholarly and dependable, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its squared serifs and disciplined proportions lend an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that feels appropriate for serious, information-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice for practical reading, combining traditional letterforms with square, emphatic serifs to strengthen presence in both text and display contexts.
Serifs are consistently blocky and unbracketed, giving the design a slightly mechanical edge while still retaining traditional letter structures. The texture in paragraphs appears even and stable, with clear word shapes and distinct punctuation, suitable for extended reading.
