This typeface is a clear, low-contrast slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and mostly even stroke weight. Serifs are prominent but cleanly cut, giving the letters a firm baseline and a steady vertical rhythm. Counters are open and rounds are smoothly drawn, while joins and terminals stay crisp and geometric. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with straightforward, workmanlike details that keep word shapes stable in continuous text.
It works well for long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a grounded slab serif texture is desirable. The sturdy construction also suits reports, formal documents, and headings that need a dependable, traditional voice without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying reliability and clarity more than flair. Its strong slabs add a slightly authoritative, institutional feel, while the even strokes keep it calm and readable. The texture on the page reads as composed and conventional, well-suited to information-forward typography.
The font appears intended as a practical slab serif for comfortable reading and dependable typography. Its combination of strong square serifs and restrained detailing suggests a focus on clarity, consistency, and an established print-like presence.
The design maintains a consistent serif treatment across caps and lowercase, helping paragraphs hold a uniform texture. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the same squared-off terminal logic seen in the letters.
