A sturdy slab serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and bracketed, squared-off serifs that stay consistent across the alphabet. Curves are generous and open, with rounded terminals in places and clear, steady joins that keep shapes readable at text sizes. The lowercase shows straightforward, workmanlike construction with a two-storey “g” and “a”, a compact, slightly squared rhythm, and numerals that match the same solid, even color on the line.
Well suited for body text in editorial layouts, reports, and book typography where a firm serif presence helps guide the eye across lines. It can also support headings and identity work that benefits from a classic, dependable slab-serif voice without drawing attention away from content.
The overall tone is practical and dependable, with a familiar editorial feel rather than overt personality. Its sturdy serifs and even texture suggest authority and clarity, making it feel suited to established, no-nonsense communication.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, everyday slab serif optimized for clarity and consistency across longer passages. Its broad stance and restrained detailing aim to deliver a stable texture and reliable readability in both display snippets and continuous text.
The font maintains a consistent typographic color in running text, with comfortable spacing and clear letter differentiation (notably in the bowls and apertures). Capitals read stately and stable, while the lowercase retains a grounded, readable cadence without calligraphic motion.
