A slab-serif with sturdy, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins that give the strokes a grounded, architectural feel. Stroke contrast is restrained, with clear, even rhythms and open counters that keep paragraphs readable. Proportions lean broad with generous letter widths and calm spacing, while the lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike construction with a two-storey “g” and a compact, readable “e.” Numerals are clear and sturdy, with simple, confident forms suited to continuous text.
It performs well for book and journal typography, editorial layouts, and report-style documents where a dependable serif voice is needed. The broad proportions and firm serifs also support headlines and subheads that should feel established without becoming ornamental.
The overall tone is composed and traditional, projecting an editorial, bookish authority rather than overt personality. Its steady rhythm and firm serifs suggest reliability and a slightly scholarly voice, making it feel at home in long-form reading contexts.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with the solid footing of slab serifs, offering a pragmatic, text-forward tone that scales from paragraphs to headings while maintaining a consistent, authoritative presence.
The shapes emphasize clarity over flourish: terminals are clean, curves are controlled, and joins stay consistent, producing a stable typographic color across lines. The slab treatment adds presence at display sizes while remaining calm in text.
