A sturdy slab-serif with flat, rectangular serifs and a mostly uniform stroke weight. The letterforms have open counters and clear, well-separated joins, giving the type a crisp texture at text sizes. Serifs are substantial and largely unbracketed to lightly bracketed, with square-ended terminals that keep the rhythm firm and measured. Uppercase proportions feel classical and steady, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with a readable, workmanlike finish.
Well-suited to body text in print-forward contexts such as books, longform editorial, and educational materials where steady rhythm and clear word shapes matter. The strong slabs also help it hold up in headlines, pull quotes, and poster-style settings that benefit from a grounded, institutional feel.
The overall tone is pragmatic and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish presence. Its robust slabs and even color suggest reliability and structure rather than delicacy or flair, evoking a traditional, print-oriented voice.
Likely designed to provide a dependable slab-serif voice with strong serifs, even color, and high legibility for continuous reading, while retaining enough firmness to work in display settings when needed.
The numerals follow the same sturdy, flat-serif logic and read clearly alongside the text. Curved letters remain controlled and not overly calligraphic, so paragraphs hold a consistent, slightly chunky texture without appearing heavy.
